Hugh Mackintosh Foot, Baron Caradon, GCMG, KCVO, OBE, PC (8 October 1907 – 5 September 1990) was a British

colonial administrator and diplomat who presided over moves to Independence in various colonies and was UK representative to

the United Nations. Hugh Mackintosh Foot

was born in Plymouth in Devon, England, on 8 October 1907. He was educated at Leighton

Park School in Reading, Berkshire, and went on to study at St John's College, Cambridge, where he

graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree

in 1929.[1] He was President

of the Cambridge Union and also of

the Cambridge University Liberal Club.

His three politically active brothers, Dingle, John and Michael, were all educated at Oxford and all became Presidents of the Oxford

Union. Hugh Foot's career in the diplomatic service was both long and

distinguished. In Mandatory Palestine, he served as the assistant district commissioner for

the Nablus region. During the Second

World War he was appointed as British Military

Administrator of Cyrenaica, and served as

Colonial Secretary of Cyprus from

1943 to 1945. After the War, he served as Colonial Secretary of Jamaica, 1945–47, Chief Secretary for Nigeria, 1947–50 and was appointed to be the Captain-General and

Governor-in-Chief of Jamaica in 1951, a post he held until 1957. He returned to

Cyprus as the last colonial Governor and Commander in Chief in 1957 until 1960,

when Cyprus gained independence. In 1961,

he became British Ambassador to the United Nations Trusteeship Council. After

the Labour Party won the 1964 general election, Foot became Minister of State for Foreign Affairs

and British Ambassador to the United Nations from 1964 to 1970. During his tenure as Permanent Representative,

he was sworn of the Privy Council in

the 1968 New Year Honours. After his retirement,

he became a Visiting Fellow at Harvard University and Princeton University. In 1964 Foot was granted of St Cleer in the

County of Cornwall, the title referring

to Caradon Hill on Bodmin

Moor, not far from Trematon Castle, which was his country home. He jokingly claimed to be

glad to be divested of the surname "Foot", which he considered a

standing invitation to wags, as he liked to illustrate by recalling a telegram

his father received on his election to parliament: "Foot, congratulations

on your feat!" Foot was an active freemason.  Foot was appointed Officer

of the Order of the

British Empire (OBE) in the 1939 New

Year Honours and elevated Companion of the Order

of St Michael and St George (CMG) in the 1946

Birthday Honours. He was elevated Knight Commander of

the Order of St Michael and St George (KCMG)

in the 1951 New Year Honours and was appointed Knight Commander of the Royal

Victorian Order (KCVO) on 27 November 1953. In

the 1957 Birthday Honours, he was

elevated a Knight Grand Cross of the Order of St Michael and St

George (GCMG).
