Birth of Lady Megan Lloyd George, the youngest child of Liberal Prime Minister David Lloyd George
Megan Lloyd George was the first female MP for a Welsh seat. She was Liberal MP for Anglesey 1929-51 and was Deputy Leader of the Liberal Party 1949-51. She was devastated to lose her parliamentary seat and felt the radical tradition in Welsh politics had passed to the Labour Party. She joined Labour and represented Carmarthen from 1957 until her death in 1966.
