CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER

As Liberals tried to form a cabinet at the end of 1905 David Lloyd George's national standing demanded that a place be found for him in its ranks. He was appointed President of the Board of Trade. Following the sweeping Liberal victory in the general election of 1906 Lloyd George worked unflaggingly in a post which until his appointment had been fairly insignificant. In April 1908 he was given his great opportunity to put in place the many reforms he wished to see when Asquith appointed him as Chancellor.
