 Lord Milner of Leeds - Telegraph
Lord Milner of Leeds, who died on August 20 aged 79, combined a career as a solicitor, specialising in property, with that of being a busy, if modest, member of the House of Lords.

 Guardian Unlimited Politics | Special Reports | Obituary: Lord Milner
Lord Milner, who has died aged 79, surprised many outsiders when he topped the Labour poll for the hereditary peers who should survive the cull in Tony Blair's 1999 reform of the upper house.
It was partly a tribute to his father, James Milner, who had been a pillar of the party during its difficult prewar days and, having been Labour MP for Leeds South-East from 1929 to 1951, rose to become deputy Commons speaker from 1943 to 1951, and then the first baron.
Milner only came to political prominence on inheriting his father's title in 1967, when his maiden speech urged the raising of the speed limit.

 SULAIR: South African War / Boer War. Concentration Camps
Milner and Chamberlain also disagreed over whether women and children in the camps should be given the option of leaving the camps.
The private and public responses of Milner and Chamberlain to the growing debate in England over treatment of the internees recorded in their own papers and official documentary sources form an instructive study in political decision-making, face-saving (who knew what when), and moral rationalizing in a liberal democracy.
Milner was in theory the man responsible for the camps, but the main decisions (or their absence) had been left to the soldiers, to whom the life or death of the 154,000 Boer and African civilians in the camps rated as an abysmally low priority.
