Gerard Folliott Vaughan



Sir Gerard Folliot Vaughan (June 11 1923 – July 29 2003) was a psychiatrist and UK politician, who reached ministerial rank during the Thatcher administration. He was perhaps most famous for losing a battle of wills with the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament's Joan Ruddock over the government's grant to the Citizens Advice Bureau, a battle that cost him his government post and permanently curtailed his political ambitions.
