Administering Lloyd's is an elected committee of twelve, now chaired by J.N.S. Ridgers, a specialist in deep-sea towing risks. The underwriting syndicates embrace 5,316 moneyed members-double the total in 1945-who collectively put up pieces of their personal fortunes and are liable for losses down to their last collar button. Membership is prestigious and highly prized. Among the current insiders are four Cabinet ministers (Hailsham, Maudling...
