David Gillmore

David Howe Gillmore, Baron Gillmore of Thamesfield, GCMG (August 16 1934 - March 20 1999). Baron Gillmore was appointed by Margaret Thatcher as permanent under-secretary of state at the Foreign Office in 1991. This came after a distinguished Foreign Office career which saw him as, among other things, High Commissioner to Malaysia (1983) and a leading light in John Major's extrication of the UK from its policy of confronting apartheid in South Africa.

In 1996, he was made a life peer as Baron Gillmore of Thamesfield, of Putney in the London Borough of Wandsworth.
