Crawford Murray MacLehose of Beoch

(Redirected from MacLehose of Beoch)

Crawford Murray MacLehose, Baron MacLehose of Beoch KT, GBE, KCMG, KCVO, PC, HonLLD, MA (October 16, 1917 - May 27, 2000) was the 25th Governor of Hong Kong, from 1971 to 1982.

Born in Glasgow, Scotland. He attended Balliol College, University of Oxford.

In 1974, MacLehose founded ICAC, the Independent Commission Against Corruption. A mass petition by policemen against prosecutions was an example how bad the situation was. Eventually Hong Kong became one of the least corrupted societies in the world.

In 1979, MacLehose raised the question of Britain's 99-year lease of the New Territories, north of Hong Kong island, with Deng Xiaoping. The talks paved the way for the handover of the entire territory to the People's Republic of China on July 1, 1997. He returned to Hong Kong to attend the handover ceremony.

He was knighted in 1983, having been made a life peer as Baron MacLehose of Beoch of Maybole in the District of Kyle and Carrick and of Victoria in Hong Kong in 1982. He died in Ayrshire, Scotland.

Preceded by:
Sir David Clive Crosbie Trench

Followed by:
