Viscount Slim, of Yarralumla in the Capital Territory of Australia and of Bishopston in the City and County of Bristol, is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. It was created in 1960 for Field Marshal Sir William Slim upon the end of his term as Governor-General of Australia.[1]
Until 2019, the title was held by his son, the second Viscount, who succeeded in 1970 and was one of the ninety elected hereditary peers that remain in the House of Lords after the passing of the House of Lords Act of 1999, and sat as a crossbencher.
His son, the 3rd Viscount, is a chartered surveyor and a director of malt suppliers Muntons plc.
