		Born on March 8, 1930, in Marlborough, England, Hurd was the eldest son of Sir Anthony (later Baron) Hurd and his wife Stephanie.

		I won't name the street because I wouldn't want to jeopardise the great man's security: he used to have a policeman posted outside his little house, but now that he is 76 and has been out of office for more than 10 years, the policeman seems to have been removed.
