David McAdam Eccles, 1st Viscount 1904 – 24 February 1999), was an English Conservative politician. Eccles was educated at Winchester College and New College, Oxford, where

he obtained a second-class

degree in PPE. He worked

with the Central Mining Corporation in London and Johannesburg. During the Second World War he worked for the Ministry of Economic

Warfare from 1939 to 1940 and for the Ministry of Production from

1942 to 1943 and was Economic Adviser to the 1940 to 1942. Eccles was elected as Member of wartime by-election in 1943, a seat he held

until 1962. He served in the Conservative administrations as Minister of Works from

1951 to 1954 (in which position he helped organise the 1953 Coronation and

was appointed KCVO),

as Minister of Education from

1954 to 1957 and again from 1959 to 1962 and as President of the Board of

Trade from 1957 to 1959. Eccles was also President of the Board

of Trade in January 1957.

In

1962 he was raised to the peerage as Baron Eccles, of Chute in the County of Wiltshire, and in 1964 he was

created Viscount Eccles, of Chute in the County of Wiltshire. Lord

Eccles returned to the government in 1970 when Edward Heath appointed him Paymaster-General and Minister for the Arts, a

post he held until 1973. As Minister for the Arts he clashed with the Chairman

of the Arts Council of Great

Britain Arnold Goodman over

the funding of controversial plays and exhibitions and introduced mandatory

admission charges at public museums and galleries. Lord Eccles was made a Doctor of Science (DSc) in 1966 by Loughborough University. He

also received an Honorary Science Doctorate from the University of Bath in

1972.
