Accompanied with a transcript of the final lines of the speech he gave at the Liberal Party conference held in Buxton in 1931, which has been amended in David Lloyd George's own hand. The conference was a hotbed of discontent, with many of the two thousand delegates in attendance disgruntled with Lloyd George's handling of the 1929 general election. A motion was tabled declaring the independence of the party, in direct opposition to Lloyd George's views, and in response he gave this speech, which by all accounts saved the day and his future in the Liberal party.
