The David Lloyd George Statue Appeal Trust was formed following a letter from John Grigg, biographer of David Lloyd George to Lord Cledwyn or Penrhos, noting the lack of a statue to Lloyd George in London. Lord Cledwyn made initial inquiries and began to put together a committee, comprising Lord Aberdare, Alan Beith MP, Lord Hooson, Earl Lloyd George and Emrys Evans in late 1996. David Lewis Jones, Librarian of the House of Lords Library was appointed secretary of the appeal. The appeal became a trust in 1997 with Lord Cledwyn, Lord Aberdare, John Grigg, Lord Hooson, Emrys Evans and David Lewis Jones as trustees. Lord Williams of Mostyn was later appointed as a trustee. Betty Boothroyd, Sir Edward Heath, Lord Jenkins of Hillhead, Lord Callaghan, Paddy Ashdown and John Major became patrons of the appeal, while Michael Heseltine chaired the artist selection panel. Professor Glynn Williams was selected as the winning artist and the statue was erected in Parliament Square before being unveiled by the Prince of Wales in 2007. The Trust was subsequently wound up.
