Correspondence and papers purchased by the National Library from the estate of Lady Megan Lloyd George in 1969.

There are more than 700 letters, 1949-1957, to Lady Megan Lloyd George from the Labour politician Philip Noel-Baker (1889-1982), together with other papers relating to the Lloyd George family. These include a small quantity of letters, 1910-[c. 1918], from her father David Lloyd George, and some from other correspondents, 1925-1966. There is also a group of Lloyd George's speech notes.

The archive group includes a file of Lloyd George family correspondence, 1902-1945, and general correspondence, 1906-1941, addressed to David Lloyd George, which complements similar groups of letters in other archive groups. There is a volume of correspondence and memoranda, 1916-1917, proposing possible solutions to the problem of home rule for Ireland, a volume of notes in the hand of David Lloyd George, and three memoranda books kept by Lloyd George between c. 1912 and 1916. There is also a group of the papers of Sir Goronwy Owen (1882-1963), the Liberal (later Independent Liberal) MP for the Caernarfonshire constituency, 1923-1945, and a brother-in-law to Gwilym Lloyd-George. There is a rich array of letters to Gwilym Lloyd-George, 1931-1963, and notes, papers and correspondence deriving from his career, c. 1927-1950, including many concerning his work at the ministries of food and fuel and power. There is also the draft of an unpublished autobiography by him.
