'''Victor Ferrier Noel-Paton, Baron Ferrier''' [[Efficiency Decoration|ED]] [[Territorial Decoration|TD]] [[Deputy Lieutenant|DL]] (29 January 1900 – 4 June 1992) was a [[United Kingdom|British]] soldier and commercial businessman. With interests in banking and insurance he was in the first group of life peers elevated.

==Life==

Victor Ferrier Noel-Paton was born in Edinburgh in 1900, son of Joane Mary and Frederick Waller Ferrier<ref>[http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Noel-Paton-1 FWF Noel-Paton]</ref> a senior official of the Government of India, sometime Director-General of Commercial Intelligence. The extended family lived in a large Georgian house owned by the grandfather, [[Joseph Noel Paton]], at 33 George Square.<ref>Edinburgh and Leith Post Office Directory 1900-1901</ref>

After education at [[Cargilfield]] and the [[Edinburgh Academy]], and service in the Royal Engineers in 1918–19, he went to India and from 1920 to 1951 built a distinguished career in commerce and politics in Bombay. During this time he rose to the management and chairmanship of various companies, became President of the [[Bombay Chamber of Commerce]], a member of the Bombay Legislative Council, and a trustee of the [[Port of Bombay]].

He also served for most of this period in the [[Indian Auxiliary Force]], and held the rank of [[Major]]. He was an Honorary [[Aide-de-camp]] to the [[Governor of Bombay]]. On 7 March 1932, in Bombay, he married Joane Mary, daughter of Sir [[Gilbert Wiles]], K.C.I.E., C.S.I.; they had a son and three daughters.

Noel-Paton was first commissioned on to the Auxiliary Force India 8 April 1919 and served as an officer of the [[Bombay Light Horse]]. He was commissioned on to the Army in India Reserve of Officer on 10 February 1928. He served as Captain in the Army in India Reserve of Officer attached to the [[19th King George V's Own Lancers]] in the [[British Indian Army|Indian Army]] from 1928 to 1934. He received the [[Efficiency Decoration]] (ED) and was a [[Deputy Lieutenant]].

When he returned to Edinburgh in 1951 he was appointed chairman of [[Edinburgh Pharmaceutical Industries]], as well as on the boards of two insurance companies. On 24 September 1958, he was made a [[life peer]] as '''Baron Ferrier''', of Culter in the County of [[Lanarkshire|Lanark]].<ref>{{London Gazette |issue=41507 |date=26 September 1958 |page=5887}}</ref> in the first fourteen creations under the Life Peerage Act 1958. He was introduced as a Conservative peer on 22 October 1958.<ref>HL Hansard, 22 October 1958, col 664.</ref> On 3 December he made his maiden speech in which he identified with old age pensions as being an intractable problem. Generally supportive of the NHS in debate, he was however a Conservative in policy matters including the poll tax.

Like many Conservatives in the late post-war era he was critical of a perceived doctrinaire left-wing bias in the BBC. So he opposed the lowering the voting age in 1968 and took a moral stance against pornography on the 'top shelf' in shops. Patriarchal and caring he took an interest in the social security system and damage that could be done to young people. Lord Ferrier was an expert committee-man appearing on a number of committees including joint house leadership notably during the premiership of Edward Heath, 1970–3.

He is buried on the southern terrace at [[Dean Cemetery]] in [[Edinburgh]] with his wife Joane Mary Wiles (1907-1984). The plot is adjacent to his ancestor [[Joseph Noel Paton]].<ref>The Times, 'Lord Ferrier', 10 June 1992.</ref>

==Family==

In 1932, whilst in [[Bombay]] he married Joane Mary Wiles (1907-1984). They had three children Fiona, Amanda and Frederick.
