Woodrow Wyatt
Woodrow Wyatt (1918-1997), military intelligence officer in India in World War II, first entered Parliament in 1959 as a Labour MP, and in May 1951, when the Labour Party was in turmoil on what stand to take on the Korean War, served as under secretary at the War Office for a short period. However he was not a Harold Wilson supporter, and when Labour came back to power in 1964, Wyatt emerged as a parliamentary rebel. Out of Parliament in 1970, he resumed a career in journalism, and became an admirer and confidante of the Tory leader Margaret Thatcher. In 1987 he received a life peerage on her recommendation, but chose to sit as a cross-bench peer.
