Davies in 1955

Ivor Roland Morgan Davies CBE (12 August 1915 – November/December 1986) was a British Liberal Party politician, journalist and United Nations Association administrator.[1] Politically, his chief claim to fame was his decision in October 1938 to withdraw as Liberal candidate at the Oxford by-election along with the Labour candidate Patrick Gordon-Walker to allow an independent, Popular Front, anti-Munich candidate, A. D. Lindsay, the Master of Balliol, to challenge the government candidate Quintin Hogg.
