  Lord William George Frederick Bentinck - LoveToKnow 1911
LORD WILLIAM GEORGE FREDERICK Cavendish BENTINCK, better known as Lord George Bentinck (1802-1848), British politician, was the second surviving son of the fourth duke of Portland, by Henrietta, sister of Viscountess Canning, and was born on the 27th of February 1802.
In 1828 he succeeded his uncle Lord William Bentinck as member for Lynn-Regis, and continued to represent that constituency during the remaining twenty years of his life.
His failures as a speaker in parliament seem to have discouraged him from the attempt to acquire reputation as a politician, and till within three years of his death he was little known out of the sporting world.

The role of party chairman was also split into two, with Lord Saatchi responsible for the party machine, and Liam Fox handling publicity.
