Postkarte. Condición: Gut. Blanko-Karte von Richard Kidston Law, 1st Baron Coleraine mit blauem Stift signiert mit eigenhändigem Zusatz "Good luck, Michael! 29th July 1968", umseitig vom Sammler mit Stempel auf Juli 1968 datiert /// Autogramm Autograph signiert signed signee /// Richard Kidston Law, 1st Baron Coleraine, PC (27 February 1901 - 15 November 1980) was a British Conservative politician. He was the youngest son among six children born to businessman and Conservative politician Bonar Law (who would go on to serve as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1922 to 1923) and Law's wife, the former Annie Pitcairn Robley, a daughter of Harrington Robley, a merchant from Glasgow. Richard's brother Charlie, a lieutenant in the King's Own Scottish Borderers, was killed at the Second Battle of Gaza in April 1917,[1] followed by brother James, a captain in the Royal Fusiliers, who was shot down and killed on 21 September 1917.[2] His sister Isabel married Sir Frederick Sykes,[3] and another sister Catherine married The 1st Baron Archibald in 1961.[4] He was educated at Shrewsbury School and St John's College, Oxford.[5] Political career Law was elected as Member of Parliament (MP) for Kingston upon Hull South West in the general election of 1931 and held the seat until 1945. In 1940 he was appointed Financial Secretary to the War Office. He was then transferred to the post of Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs until 1943. While in the latter post he took part in the Bermuda Conference on the fate of European Jewry[6] and was sworn of the Privy Council in the 1943 New Year Honours.[7] He was then Minister of State, also at the Foreign Office, until 1945, when he served briefly as Minister of Education in the Churchill Caretaker ministry. In a by-election in November 1945 he became MP for Kensington South, which he held until February 1950.[8] Law was again elected as an MP in the election of 1951, this time for Haltemprice, but he resigned this seat in January 1954 and in February was elevated to the House of Lords as Baron Coleraine of Haltemprice in the East Riding of the County of York.[9] After his elevation to the peerage, he went on a two-week lecture tour in the United States,[10] following two weeks in Russia at the invitation of the Russian government.[11] Published works In 1950, Law published Return from Utopia, a book in which he stated his belief that trying to use the power of the state to create any sort of Utopia is not just unattainable but positively evil, because one of the first principles to be sacrificed is the principle of freedom and individual choice. Law argued: To turn our backs on Utopia, to see it for the sham and the delusion that it is, is the beginning of hope. It is to hold out once again the prospect of a society in which man is free to be good because he is free to choose. Freedom is the first condition of human virtue and Utopia is incompatible with freedom. Come back from Utopia and hope is born again.[12] In 1970, Lord Coleraine published another book, For Conservatives Only, in which he criticised the Conservative leadership of the time for, in his view, sacrificing Tory principles for electoral expediency and the pursuit of the "middle ground". At this time he was Patron of the Selsdon Group of Conservative MPs.[citation needed] Personal life On 26 January 1929, Lord Coleraine (when still Richard Law) married Mary Virginia Nellis, the second daughter of Abraham Fox Nellis, of Rochester, New York.[13] Her father, a silk manufacturer, had died in 1923.[14] Together, they were the parents of two children:[15] James Law, 2nd Baron Coleraine (1931-2020), who married Emma Elizabeth Richards, only daughter of Nigel Richards, in 1958. After their divorce in 1966, he married Anne Patricia Farrant in 1966. She was the second daughter of Maj.-Gen. Ralph Henry Farrant.[15] Hon. Andrew Bonar Law (b. 1933), who married Joanna Margarette Neill, daughter of Raymond Neill of Ireland, in 1961.[16][17] Lady Coleraine died on 3 April 1978 in Helensburgh, Scotland. Lord Coleraine died on 15 November 1980, age 79, and was succeeded in the barony by his son James Martin Bonar Law.[15] Descendants Through his elder son James, he was a grandfather of Hon. Elizabeth Mary Law (b. 1961), who married Charles Ironside, 3rd Baron Ironside (only son and heir of Edmund Ironside, 2nd Baron Ironside) in 1985; Hon. Sophia Anne Law (b. 1964); Hon. James Peter Bonar Law (1975-2019), Hon. Henrietta Margaret Law (1968-1993), and Hon.
