Josiah Towyn Jones

Josiah Towyn Jones (December 28 1858-November 16 1925), was a Welsh clergyman and politician, Liberal MP for Carmarthenshire East and later for Llanelli.

Jones, a Congregationalist minister at Garnant, was elected for Carmarthenshire East in a by-election of 1912. During World War I, he opposed conscription, but nevertheless took office in the coalition government, becoming a Whip and Junior Lord of the Treasury. In 1918, his constituency was abolished and he became MP for Llanelli, holding the seat until 1922.
