He joined the Liberal party in the 1940's was elected to the House of Commons, briefly serving the constituency of Berwick-upon-Tweed and eventually became leader of the Liberals in the House of Lords. He wrote a book "Why I am a Liberal " in 1944 so yes, I would say he was Liberal. However he was a member of the Fabian Society in his younger days so perhaps he did lean a little to the left but he was at heart an economist and produced the Beveridge report for a Labour Government.
