- Sir Hugh Lucas-Tooth, 1st Baronet
Sir Hugh Vere Huntly Duff Munro-Lucas-Tooth of Teaninich, 1st Baronet (13 January, 1903 – 18 November, 1985), born Hugh Warrand and known as Sir Hugh Lucas-Tooth, 1st Baronet, from 1920 to 1965, was a British Conservative politician.
Warrand was educated at Eton and Balliol College, Oxford. He adopted the name Hugh Lucas-Tooth in 1920 when he gained the recreated baronetcy of his grandfather, the first baronet, whose three sons had died in World War I. Lucas-Tooth was called to the bar in 1933 at Lincoln's Inn.
Lucas-Tooth was first elected to the Commons in the 1924 general election as Member of Parliament for the Isle of Ely. Aged 21, he became the youngest MP, known as "Baby of the House". He served as Parliamentary Private Secretary to Arthur Samuel, Secretary for Overseas Trade.
He was defeated in the 1929 general election by the Liberal candidate, James A. de Rothschild. Lucas-Tooth stood again for parliament in the 1945 general election for Hendon South, and was elected. He retained the seat in subsequent general elections and was Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department 1952-55.
In 1965, Lucas-Tooth changed his name once again by deed poll to reflect the Scottish lairdship Munro of Teaninich. He retired from Parliament at the 1970 general election.
