Jonathan Guinness, 3rd Baron Moyne


Jonathan Bryan Guinness, 3rd Baron Moyne (born 16 March 1930) is a British peer and businessman. A member of the Guinness family, he is the elder of the two sons of Bryan Guinness, 2nd Baron Moyne and his first wife Diana Mitford (later Lady Mosley), and until his retirement was a merchant banker for Messrs Leopold Joseph.

Jonathan Guinness was educated at Eton College and the University of Oxford. He worked as a journalist and then as a merchant banker. From 1970 to 1974 he was a Leicestershire County Councillor.

Lord Moyne twice stood as Parliamentary Candidate for the Conservative Party, including the Lincoln by-election of 1973, notable for the election of Dick Taverne.

He was a long-standing and early member of the Conservative Monday Club, serving on several of its committees. He was a member of the Club's Executive Council in 1971, when he became Chairman of their 'Action Fund', and elected National Chairman on 5 June 1972, fighting off challenges from Richard Body MP, and Timothy Stroud. The Guardian and The Times referred to his election as "a right-wing victory". At the Club's Annual General Meeting in April 1973 Guinness retained the Chairmanship for another year, defeating George Kennedy Young. In mid-1974 he was invited to address Conservative students at Portsmouth Polytechnic, but was prevented from doing so by protesters.

On 10 October 1989, at the Conservative Party Conference, he chaired a controversial fringe meeting organized by the Young Monday Club, advertised as The End of the English? - Immigration and Repatriation. The other speakers were MPs Tim Janman and Nicholas Budgen.
