DEFENCE RESTS
Peer and politician Robert Lindsay, 29th Earl of Crawford, has died aged 96. The earliest surviving MP (and the last to be elected in 1955), he was among the dwindling links to the Heath ministry as Minister of State for Defence. He was also noted for his mental health activism and rebuffed Scientologists while chairman of the National Association for Mental Health. He lost his seat in the October 1974 election and soon moved on to the House of Lords. After going through all of 2022 without a single hit to their name, UK politicians theme team No More Expenses elects a unique hit.
