The '''Rt Hon. George Houstoun Reid''' was [[Prime Minister]] of [[Australia]] for about ten months in 1904, following the resignation of [[John Watson]].
He himself resigned after losing support of the [[Protectionist Party]], and was replaced by [[Alfred Deakin]], who had previously been Australia's second Prime Minister.
Reid initially opposed [[Federation]] for Australia, but later changed his mind and supported it.
In 1910, he became Australia's first High Commissioner to the [[United Kingdom]]. After fulfilling that role for six years, he was offered a seat in the British [[House of Commons]], to which he was elected unopposed.
