		Thomas Isaac Mardy Jones, MP for Pontypridd 1922-1931
		Mardy Jones was the son of Thomas Isaac and Gwen Jones of Brynaman, Carmarthenshire.
		Notwithstanding that his father and both of his grandfathers were killed in coal-mining
		accidents, he began working in the mines at the age of 12, his wages supporting a family
		of six.
		Mardy Jones later studied at Ruskin College, Oxford, where he majored in economics and
		modern history. He then became a 'missionary' for Ruskin College and succeeded in
		persuading the South Wales Miners' Federation to establish 10 scholarships. Returning to
		mining, he became a miner's agent  and later became Parliamentary and Political Agent for
		the South Wales Miners' Federation.
		In July 1922, Mardy Jones was elected as MP for Pontypridd. At the time of the events
		described in this note, the annual salary of a backbencher such as Mardy Jones was
		£360. In addition, MPs were eligible to receive vouchers which could be exchanged for
		rail tickets between London and their constituencies. These vouchers were not, however,
		transferable to anyone else.
		In breach of this rule, Mardy Jones sent two tickets to his wife and 12-year-old daughter.
		On 19 December 1930, his wife and daughter boarded a first-class carriage of the Great
		Western Railway and set off for London, but when their tickets were checked by the
		railway's inspectors, one of the tickets was found to be out of date. The inspectors and the
		railway company showed no mercy and pressed charges against the unfortunate travellers.
		On 5 February 1931, Mardy Jones resigned from the House of Commons. The next day, he
		pleaded guilty in court to transferring two non-transferable tickets to his wife and helping
		her to travel without paying for a fare. His wife pleaded guilty to receiving the ticket and
		intending to travel without paying the fare. Both defendants were fined £2 and Mardy Jones
		also had to pay 30 guineas in costs.
		Although he stood at the subsequent General Election in October 1931, Mardy Jones was
		easily defeated.
		Reginald Jaffray Lucas, MP for Portsmouth 1900-1906
		Lucas was a well-known writer during his lifetime, probably best remembered for his work
		"George II and his Ministers" [Arthur Humphreys, London, 1910]. He also wrote a number of
		novels and biographies. He was the son of Sir Thomas Lucas, 1st baronet, and before
		entering parliament in 1900 was private secretary to Sir William Walrond, later Baron
		Waleran, and Aretas Akers-Douglas, later Viscount Chilston.
		After suffering from a very painful disease, Lucas committed suicide on 9 May 1914. The
		following report of the subsequent inquest is taken from the 'Adelaide [South Australia]
		Advertiser' of 22 June 1914:-
		'Infinitely pathetic was the tragic fate of Mr. Reginald Jaffray Lucas, ex M.P. for Portsmouth
		from 1900 to 1906, who driven by pain to the limit of endurance last month, shot himself at
		his home at The Albany, Piccadilly, London. Distressing details of the affair were related at
		the inquest. Maria Felton, deceased's housekeeper, said that she went to Mr. Lucas' room
		in response to what she took to be a knocking noise. She spoke to him, but received no
		answer, and she then called the valet. Deceased said, "Take it away; it is done now"
		(referring to a revolver which he had in his hand). He also told witness to ring up the
		Eccentric Club, and send for his brother. Did he say anything about doing it quickly? - Yes;
		he said he thought it would be over sooner. Joseph Olden, the valet, said that after visiting
		his doctor in the morning deceased told him that his throat was very bad again, and he
		would require another operation.
		'After handing witness the revolver deceased said, "Don't be alarmed. Olden, at what I have
		done. I could not endure the pain any longer, send for the doctor." Witness did so, and
		afterwards found a note on a chair beside the bed. Dr. Montagu S. Monier-Williams, of
		Onslow Gardens, said he attended deceased for ten years for consumption. When witness
		was called to him after the shooting he [Lucas] said, "I am sorry to give you this trouble,
		doctor. I have shot myself four times through the chest. Why am I not dead? I expected to
		be by now. I am afraid I have made a bad job of it."
		'In summing up the coroner commented on the painful nature of the case. Deceased was
		suffering from tuberculosis of the throat, a very distressing malady, and the necessary
		surgical treatment would give rise to intense pain. He evidently came to the limit of
		endurance.
		'A letter which he wrote to his brother read as follows:- "My dear Frank - I have a malignant
		disease. A sanatorium cure to me would be intolerable. All that medical skill can do is at
		best a palliative. I have been suffering such pain and discomfort, and feel worn out. The
		future must be all pain and sickness, and I should be a burden to myself and a nuisance to
		everybody else. The best thing is to hasten the end. I trust in the mercy of Almighty God,
		who has blessed me so abundantly. I am sorry, very sorry, for my sisters, and the few
		others who will care. I am tired, and want rest. God bless you all."
		'The jury returned a verdict of "Suicide whilst of unsound mind."
		David John Mellor, MP for Putney 1979-1997
		After a number of junior political posts, Mellor was appointed Minister for the Arts for a brief
		period in 1990. Later that year he became Chief Secretary to the Treasury and in 1992 he
		became Secretary of State for the Department of National Heritage (known as the 'Minister
		for Fun').
		Previously, in 1989, Mellor had attacked the popular press, calling for curbs on the 'sacred
		cow' of press freedom. This attack would later rebound upon him.
		In 1992, The Sun published details of a liaison with Antonia de Sancha, a 31-year-old
		actress, for which she was paid £30,000. One source states that she had appeared in a film
		titled The Pieman, in which she played a one-legged prostitute who has sex with a pizza
		delivery man, but no such film is listed in the International Movie Database. Her affair with
		Mellor had been conducted in a rented furnished flat in West Kensington, where their
		converations had been secretly recorded without Mellor's consent. The bug had been placed
		by de Sancha's landlord, and it was held that it was not illegal to bug your own property.
		Although he survived in office after the publication of his affair, Fleet Street continued to
		dig up and disclose embarrassing details of Mellor's past. Evidence emerged that he enjoyed
		a free holiday in 1990 as the guest of a daughter of a Palestine Liberation Organisation
		official and that another holiday had been paid for by the ruler of Abu Dhabi. Having become
		an embarrassment to the Conservative Party, he was pressured to resign in September
		1992.
		In January 1996, the Sunday Mirror published a front-page story under the subtle and
		under-stated headline 'DAVID MELLOR'S FORMER MISTRESS IN LESBIAN LOVE ROMPS WITH
		DRUG FIEND'S GIRLFRIEND.' The story resulted from Miss de Sancha's attempt to revive her
		movie career. The article was illustrated with a suggestive photo of former model, Michelle
		Davies, girlfriend of a society drug dealer, who had been paid £4,000 by the paper to say
		that she had had a lesbian relationship with Miss de Sancha. In fact, they had met for the
		first time at the photo shoot. This incident gave rise to the perception that the tabloid
		press considered any stick good enough to beat David Mellor.
