John Desmond Anderson, 3rd Viscount Waverley (born 31 October 1949) is a British peer. He is one of the ninety hereditary peers in the House of Lords elected to remain after the passing of the House of Lords Act 1999, sitting as a cross-bencher.[1]
The son of the 2nd Viscount Waverley, he succeeded to his father's titles in 1990. He was educated at Malvern College.[2]
In April 2011, he served as an observer of the Kazakhstan elections, saying "I asked many questions to get to understand voters and the election commission, and I was satisfied with what I heard and saw." A leader of an unregistered party accused him of whitewashing the election.[3]
Lord Waverley was first married to Anne Suzette Davidson in 1969 and then to Ursula Helen Barrow in 1994[4]
