- George Lambert, 2nd Viscount Lambert
George Lambert, 2nd Viscount Lambert (27 November 1909 – 24 May 1989) was a British politician.
Lambert was the eldest son of long-serving Devon Member of Parliament, the Rt. Hon. George Lambert. He was educated at Harrow School and New College, Oxford. During World War II he was commissioned into the Royal Engineers, but transferred to the Royal Artillery in 1940. He became a Lieutenant-Colonel and a War Office liaison officer, visiting the Mediterranean, India and South-East Asia Commands.
After almost fifty years in Parliament, George Lambert senior stepped down at the 1945 general election and was created Viscount Lambert. Lambert younger stood successfully as a National Liberal candidate in his father's seat, South Molton. In 1950 the constituency was abolished and replaced by Torrington, which Lambert continued to serve until his father's death in 1958, at which point he joined the House of Lords. This prompted the Torrington by-election, 1958 and the Liberal Party's first by-election gain in almost thirty years
In Parliament, Lambert spoke on agriculture matters.
