Wayland Young, 2nd Baron Kennet
Wayland Hilton Young, 2nd Baron Kennet (2 August 1923 – 7 May 2009) was a British writer, Labour Party and SDP politician who served in numerous national and international official and unofficial capacities.
==Early life==
Young was the son of the multi-talented politician Edward Hilton Young, 1st Baron Kennet,〔(Michael White, "Obituary: Lord Kennet - Author, journalist, politician and 'troublemaker' who went from Labour to the SDP, and back", ''The Guardian'', 12 May 2009. )〕 and the sculptor Kathleen Scott, née Bruce, widow of Captain Robert Falcon Scott of the Antarctic. One uncle was Geoffrey Winthrop Young, the mountaineer. His half-brother was the painter and conservationist Sir Peter Scott. He was educated at West Downs School, Alpine College, Stowe School and Trinity College, Cambridge - Exhibitioner. During World War II he served in the Royal Navy from 1942 to 1945, as an Ordinary Seaman and as Sublieutenant. He then went on to the Foreign Office serving between 1946–47 and 1949–1951. In between and after he was a journalist - ''Observer'' correspondent in Rome and North Africa, and weekly columnist on ''The Guardian'' ("Sitting on a Column"), and theatre critic for ''Tribune''. He was a frequent contributor to ''Encounter'', where his articles were widely noticed - among them "Sitting on a Fortune" (about prostitution) and a review showing up many errors of fact in Roland Huntford's book on Scott and Amundsen, which denigrated the former (ignoring the scientific character of Scott's expedition), and presented the event as merely a "race" that the latter "won". Young also wrote three novels, and several pamphlets for the Fabian Society on defence, disarmament, pollution, Europe and other topics (some together with his wife, Elizabeth Young. Together they also wrote a book, ''Old London Churches'' (which identified the six churches designed by Nicholas Hawksmoor as works of real genius). Young also took part in the Campaign for the Abolition of Theatre Censorship as its Secretary. His energetic interest in disarmament did not lead him to join the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament - it worked for unilateral British nuclear disarmament: he believed that only general and comprehensive disarmament could be useful and effective.
