Law eventually became a partner in a Glasgow iron-working firm. == Parliament == He was elected to parliament for Glasgow Central (constituency) as a Conservative in 1900. He associated himself with the Protectionist wing of the party led by Joseph Chamberlain, and after Chamberlain withdrew from politics in 1906, Law came to lead that wing of the party along with Chamberlain's son, Austen Chamberlain. == Conservative Leader == In 1911, Arthur Balfour resigned as leader of the Tories, and after a deadlock between Chamberlain and Walter Long, 1st Viscount Long, Law was elected Leader as a compromise candidate. Law's closest associate was his fellow Canadian, newspaper mogul William Maxwell Aitken, 1st Baron Beaverbrook (later Lord Beaverbrook). In the years prior to the outbreak of the First World War, Law focused most of his attention on the tariff issue and on the issue of Irish Home Rule, which he furiously opposed. == The Great War == He entered the Coalition government as Colonial Secretary in 1915, and actually had a chance to be prime minister in 1916 but deferred to Lloyd George. He served in Lloyd George's War Cabinet first as Chancellor of the Exchequer and Leader of the House of Commons. == Post War and Prime Minister == At war's end he gave up the exchequer for the less demanding sinecure office of Lord Privy Seal, but remained Leader of the Commons. In 1921, ill health forced his resignation as Tory leader and Leader of the Commons in favor of Austen Chamberlain, but he returned in October 1922 to become Prime Minister when Tory backbenchers led by Stanley Baldwin forced the Conservatives to leave Lloyd George's coalition as a result of the complete failure of the Lloyd George government's policies in Turkey. He was diagnosed with terminal throat cancer and was replaced in May of 1923 by Baldwin, with whom he did not get along. He died of cancer later that same year in London. ==Bonar Law's Government, October 1922 - May 1923== *Andrew Bonar Law - Prime Minister and Leader of the House of Commons *George Cave, 1st Viscount Cave - Lord Chancellor *James Edward Hubert Gascoyne-Cecil, 4th Marquess of Salisbury - Lord President of the Council and Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster *Robert Cecil, 1st Viscount Cecil of Chelwood - Lord Privy Seal *Stanley Baldwin - Chancellor of the Exchequer *William Clive Bridgeman - Secretary of State for the Home Department *George Nathaniel Curzon, 1st Marquess Curzon of Kedleston - Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs and Leader of the House of Lords *Victor Cavendish, 9th Duke of Devonshire - Secretary of State for the Colonies *Edward George Villiers Stanley, 17th Earl of Derby - Secretary of State for War *William Wellesley Peel, 1st Earl Peel - Secretary of State for India *Robert Munro-Ferguson, 1st Viscount Novar - Secretary for Scotland *Leopold Stennett Amery - First Lord of the Admiralty *Philip Cunliffe-Lister, 1st Earl of Swinton - President of the Board of Trade *Robert Arthur Sanders, 1st Baron Bayford - Minister of Agriculture *Edward Wood, 1st Earl of Halifax - President of the Board of Education *Montague Barlow - Minister of Labour *Arthur Griffith-Boscawen - Minister of Health ===Changes=== April 1923 - Griffith-Boscawen resigns as Minister of Health and is succeeded by Neville Chamberlain. == Assessment == Dour, narrow, unimaginative, Bonar Law was a thrust into the limelight amid the bigotry of the Ulster crisis.

Was "Bonar" his first name? I always thought it was part of his surname. User:Deb 20:15 Apr 29, 2003 (UTC) It's one of those weird British things. Like Lloyd George, but less so. His surname was "Law". His Christian name was "Andrew". He was called "Bonar Law". I've never been completely clear on exactly how it works, but I think the Bonar is more like a first name than a surname. User:Jlk7e 23:27 Apr 29, 2003 (UTC) :That being so, I'm not convinced that it was a good idea to move the article from "Andrew Bonar Law" to "Bonar Law". There are some links that now need to be tidied up. User:Deb 17:50 Apr 30, 2003 (UTC) ::Hmm... well, there's a redirect from "Andrew Bonar Law". If you want to switch it back, that's fine, though.
