Family
Younger was the son of the 2nd Viscount Younger of Leckie and as such came from an upper class background atypical of the Labour movement (he was also the uncle of future Conservative cabinet minister George Younger). The family lived at Gargunnock in Stirlingshire. After Winchester College and New College, Oxford, Younger read for the Bar and was called (Inner Temple) in 1932. Two years later he married Elizabeth Stewart. They had two daughters and one son (Sam, who became a BBC executive, and is now Chairman of the Electoral Commission).
