Page "Quintin Hogg, Baron Hailsham of St Marylebone" Paragraph 8

Hogg failed to win the leadership bid but did win his father's old constituency of St Marylebone.

He remarked to a journalist " After all, I am only 55.

Perhaps about 1970 if there was a Tory government some ass might make me Lord Chancellor " – a remark which caused some amusement when in June 1970 there was a Conservative ( also known as " Tory ") government and Edward Heath did indeed make him Lord Chancellor.
