- Gareth Wyn Williams, Baron Williams of Mostyn war ein britischer Politiker. Williams wurde in einem Taxi geboren, das sich bei Prestatyn in Nord-Wales auf dem Weg nach Mostyn befand. Nach dem Studium der Rechtswissenschaften am Queens’ College der University of Cambridge absolvierte er eine Karriere als Richter an verschiedenen Instanzen des Landes. 1992 wurde er als Baron Williams of Mostyn, of Great Tew im County of Oxfordshire zu einem Life Peer erhoben und erhielt damit einen Sitz im House of Lords. Nach dem Wahlsieg der Labour Party 1997 war Williams in wechselnden Positionen als Unter-Staatssekretär und Staatsminister Mitglied der Regierung Tony Blairs. 2001 wurde er zum Vorsitzenden des House of Lords und Lord Privy Seal ernannt. In dieser Position unterstützte er die Reformbemühungen Blairs, die auf eine Beschränkung der politischen Macht des Erbadels abzielten. Im Alter von 62 Jahren starb Lord Williams an einem Herzinfarkt.

Williams was born near Prestatyn, in North Wales, a son of Albert Thomas Williams and his wife Selina, née Evans. He was educated at Rhyl Grammar School and at Queens' College, Cambridge. He had a successful legal career, becoming a Queen's Counsel, Recorder, Deputy High Court Judge and Chairman of the Bar Council. He was made a life peer as Baron Williams of Mostyn, of Great Tew in Oxfordshire in 1992 and became an opposition spokesman in the House of Lords on Legal Affairs, and later Northern Ireland. After Labour's election victory he appointed a Home Office minister, and in 1999 became Attorney General for England and Wales and Northern Ireland. He was appointed Leader of the House of Lords in 2001, initially with the sinecure office of Lord Privy Seal, for which Lord President of the Council was substituted in 2003. Lord Williams married firstly in 1962 Pauline, daughter of Ernest Clarke, and by her had two daughters, Martha (born 1963) and Emma (born 1966), and a son, Daniel (born 1969). They divorced, and he married secondly in 1994 Veena M Russell, and by her had one daughter, Imogen. He collapsed and died suddenly at his home in Gloucestershire, at the age of 62. He was survived by his four children. As part of the celebrations to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the Life Peerages Act, Lord Williams was voted by the current members of the House of Lords as the outstanding life peer since the creation of the life peerage. In his book A View from the Foothills Chris Mullin wrote that he thought that Gareth Williams was most likely to succeed Derry Irvine as Lord Chancellor; the position was ultimately fulfilled by Charles Falconer.
