High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Thomas Lionel Dugdale, 1st Baron Crathorne PC (20 July 1897 ? 26 March 1977), known as Sir Thomas Dugdale, 1st Baronet, from 1945 to 1959, was a British Conservative politician. A government minister, he resigned over the Crichel Down Affair, often quoted as a classic example of the convention of individual ministerial responsibility. Thomas Dugdale was the son of Captain James Lionel Dugdale of Crathorne Hall near Yarm in Yorkshire. He was educated at Eton College and Sandhurst. He joined the Army in 1916, serving with the Scots Greys in World War I and the Yorkshire Hussars in World War II. Dugdale married Nancy, daughter of Sir Charles Tennant, 1st Baronet, and Marguerite (née Miles) in 1936. He died in March 1977, aged 79. By then a peer, his son, James succeeded him as Baron Crathorne. In 1929, Dugdale was elected as Member of Parliament for Richmond, North Yorkshire, where he remained until 1959. He served as Parliamentary PrivateSecretary to several ministers, including Stanley Baldwin, and Deputy Chief Whip. He was later Chairman of the Conservative Party and Chairman of the Party's Agricultural Committee. He was made a baronet in 1945.
