Serving as President of the Board of Trade for two weeks in 1942 he subsequently became Minister of Aircraft Production in which capacity he served on the combined policy committee set up by the British and United States governments under the Quebec Agreement of 1943 to oversee the construction of the atomic bomb.
Except that he wasn't Minister for Aircraft Production in 1943... Anyone know hopw verifiable this is? Timrollpickering 13:12, 27 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Annoyingly I can't now remember where I got that particular factoid. I'm pretty sure that it's accurate, however, since it was the spur for me writing the article in the first place - i.e. that was the one fact I had and then I scraped around for a few more. The reason for the discrepancy could be that Churchill didn't want Cripps on the committee because he probably thought he was unreliably socialist, so Llewellin held the post until a more 'sound' replacement could be made. --Mr impossible 21:54, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)
