Description: London: House of Commons, 1979. Original handwritten note signed by Lord Hailsham of Saint Marlybone on a black and white signature card. Very Good. Scarce. Quintin McGarel Hogg, Baron Hailsham of St Marylebone KG, CH, PC, FRS (9 October 1907 – 12 October 2001), known as the 2nd Viscount Hailsham between 1950 and 1963, at which point he disclaimed his hereditary peerage, was a British barrister and Conservative Party politician. Like his father, Hailsham was considered to be a contender for the leadership of the Conservative Party. He was a contender to succeed Harold Macmillan as prime minister in 1963, renouncing his hereditary peerage to do so, but was passed over in favour of Sir Alec Douglas-Home. He was created a life peer in 1970 and served as Lord Chancellor, the office formerly held by his father, in 1970–74 and 1979–87. .
