	Clan Lamont
		It is an old and accredited tradition in the Highlands, that the Lamonds or Lamonts were the most ancient proprietors of Cowal, and that the Stewarts, Maclauchlans, and Campbells obtained possession of their property in that district by marriage with daughters of the family.
		Lamont had not forgotten him, and he took him in, gave him a home for years, and when he died, buried him with all the honour due to his rank in the little graveyard about the chapel of St. Mary on the farm of Toward-an-Uilt, where his resting place was long pointed out.
		Colonel Lamont is the author of a brochure on the Lamont tartan, which has attracted wide notice among students of these things, and is of the deepest interest to the clan.

	New Statesman - The New Statesman Profile - The Major/Lamont relationship
		Lamont, then chief secretary to the Treasury, was meant to be tucked up in his room at the Tory conference in Bournemouth, conducting bilaterals with the spending ministers.

		Lamont, for his part, thought that Major was excessively optimistic and he told Major's biographer Anthony Seldon - or at least gave him the impression - that he felt that he, Lamont, was not trusted.

		NORMAN LAMONT: I accept that confidence is a vital ingredient for the progress of the economy.
		LAMONT: Don't underestimate the change that has occurred in monetary policy, that takes time to have an effect, but to describe that as peanuts would be grotesque, it is hugely significant.
		LAMONT: Well, you're quite right to say that borrowing is a worrying feature of the present situation and any Chancellor must always have an eye on what borrowing is doing to the stock of debt, the national debt, of the country and the longer a recession goes on, that adds to borrowing.

		Norman Lamont was the Chancellor of the Exchequer who fought in 1991-92 to keep Britain inside the European monetary system, and who in 1995 is now its most vociferous critic.

		Lamont is the leading Conservative to think the unthinkable - that Britain may yet have to come out of the European Union.

	Lamont Faces Tories: Which Way Now?
		Norman Lamont, the chancellor of the Exchequer, faces the biggest trial of his already tumultuous career on Thursday as he attempts to reassure the Conservative Party faithful at their annual conference that he does at last have an economic policy.

		Lamont is also immersed in crucial battles to keep public-sector spending within strict limits, intricate battles which any successor would be ill-equipped to advance.

		Norman Lamont, who served continuously at the Treasury from 1986 to 1993 - a period when first Lawson and then Major consistently argued for the ERM - tries hard to pretend that he was too busy dealing with the fairies at the bottom of the garden to notice any of it.
