Father of the National Government
[edit]I have just deleted the following unsourced entry; in fact, due to his influence in the formation of the all-party Government of Co-operation in 1931, Lloyd George called him the "Father of National Government." This is because I can find no original record either of this statement or of Seely's role in the formation of the National Government. I have checked the following sources and have found no mention whatsoever of Seely in connection with the National Government;
- Memoirs by Viscount Samuel
- Tempestuous Journey (The life and times of Lloyd George) by Frank Owen
- The Myth That Will Not Die by Humphrey Berkeley
Berkeley's book is the only published book which deals exclusively with the formation of the National Government, and Seely is not mentioned in any of its 137 pages. Owen's tomb of Lloyd George, written by one of his closest aids at the time does not place Seely anywhere near these events. Samuel - who is accurately described my many historians as being the man more than any other, responsible for the formation of the National Government - only mentions Seely in relation to events 25 years earlier, not connected to National Governments.
