- Lancelot Joynson-Hicks, 3rd Viscount Brentford
Lancelot William Joynson-Hicks, 3rd Viscount Brentford (10 April, 1902 – 25 February, 1983), known as Sir Lancelot William Joynson-Hicks, 1st Baronet from 1956 to 1958, was a British Conservative politician.
Joynson-Hicks was the second son of former Home Secretary William Joynson-Hicks, 1st Viscount Brentford and Grace Lynn Joynson. He was educated at Winchester College and Trinity College, Oxford, later becoming a solicitor and a farmer. He served in World War II as a lieutenant-commander in the Royal Navy Volunteer Reserve.
Joynson-Hicks sat as a Member of Parliament for Chichester from 1942 to 1958 and served under Winston Churchill as Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Fuel and Power from 1951 to 1955. In 1956 he was created a Baronet, of Newick in the County of Sussex. On the death of his older brother, Richard Cecil Joynson-Hicks, 2nd Viscount Brentford, in 1958, he succeeded as third Viscount Brentford. Because he was now a peer, he vacated his seat in the House of Commons.
Lord Brentford married Phyllis Allfey, daughter of Herbert Cyril Allfey, in 1931. They had one son. He died in February 1983, aged 80, and was succeeded in his titles by his only child Crispin William Joynson-Hicks.
