Stuart Young (1934-1986)

Stuart Young (1934–1986), was an English business executive.

Stuart was the brother of a former UK cabinet minister Lord Young. He succeeded George Howard as the chairman of the BBC board of governors in 1983 and remained in this role until his early death from cancer in 1986. When he first became a BBC governor in 1981 he argued that the BBC should be funded by advertising. However, he later changed his mind and argued for the continuation of the television licence during the Peacock Committee.

At the time of his death, Stuart had with his wife Shirley, two daughters - Lesley and Lynda - a son-in-law, Denis, and one year old granddaughter, Sophie. His family has since grown with the addition of 5 more grandchildren from both his daughters. Lesley and Denis (Sophie, Georgia, Harry and Imogen) and Lynda, with Michael (Mark and James)
