		Williams, described yesterday as one of the most brilliant legal minds at Westminster, was a former lawyer who was heavily involved in the debate to reform the upper chamber of Parliament which came to a head last week.
		Lord Williams, who leaves a widow and four children, was appointed to his post after the last election in the hope that his genial nature, his supreme debating skills and the fact that he was popular on all sides of the House would deliver reform through consensus rather than by force.
		Lord Williams was created a life peer in 1992 and became an Opposition spokesman in the House of Lords on legal affairs from that year until 1997.

		Lord Williams of Mostyn, who died on Saturday aged 62, had been Lord Privy Seal and Leader of the House of Lords for the past two years, and was held to be among the cleverest members of the Cabinet.
		Williams served as a Recorder from 1978 and was Leader of the Wales and Chester Circuit from 1987 to 1989.
		Far from a chippy radical, Williams was a relaxed and articulate interviewee for journalists, lunching with them at his favourite Italian restaurant, and often emerging with a bag of bones for his dog.

	The Millennium Lecture at Llandaff 23 October 1999
		Gareth, Lord Williams of Mostyn had kindly agreed to deliver what proved to be a highly informative capsule history lesson and many thoughts on ‘unfinished business’.
		Lord Williams of Mostyn felt that Ken Young’s introduction was rather like ‘reading one’s obituary whilst still alive’ but it certainly did justice to this academic.
		In my opinion, Lord Williams proved himself to be a socio-economic historian of some note and made all members of the audience, regardless of age and gender, actually sit up and think.

		Police warned over evidence disclosure Police officers and lawyers who fail to comply with new guidelines on the disclosure of evidence should face disciplinary action, the Attorney General, Lord Williams of Mostyn, warned yesterday.
		Lord Williams said the guidelines would help to bring to an end miscarriages of justice, which he described as a "travesty" of the criminal justice system.
		Lord Williams said too many criminal trials had become trials of what should or should not be disclosed and less about the guilt of a defendant.

	Guardian \| Lord Williams of Mostyn
		In the cabinet (where he also held the title of Lord Privy Seal), his views were valued not only because of his high intelligence and deep political grasp, but also because he was not confrontational, and understood deeply that politics is the art of the possible.
		He was able to persuade all but health minister Lord Hunt that a resignation gesture would have no impact on Blair's pro-war determination, and would only result in the loss of a useful job in which they would be replaced by a Blairite, just as Short was replaced within hours by Lady Amos.
		Whatever the cause of Williams' presumed heart attack, it did not arise through bottled-up frustration over Thursday's Blair-Falconer Lords reforms, as was evident to anyone who saw him that day sitting beside Lord Falconer with a healthy suntan and a smile of satisfaction.

		I hope the noble Lord, Lord Whitty, will not be too upset with me—I am not trying to provoke him—if I recall remarks that I made in that debate.

		I was sorry to hear he was proud of it; the noble Lord, Lord Hurd of Westwell, said that Ministers may expect to be opposed—they should not seek to be hated.

		My Lords, these proposals form the second part of the 2-stage reform that we promised when we legislated in 1999 to remove the automatic right of hereditary peers to be members of your Lordships' House.
		It is vital that reform of the Lords does not upset this balance but rather that it strengthens the capacity of Parliament to legislate, deliberate and hold the government to account.
		The House of Lords' principal function should continue to be to consider and revise legislation; to scrutinise the executive; and to debate and report on public issues.
