by The Earl Mountbatten of Burma.
Following his assassination the following year the lecture was renamed the Mountbatten Memorial Lecture in his honour. In 1991 the NEC was wound up and the organisation Mountbatten Memorial Lecture was handed over to the IEE. The lecture is now a part of the Prestige Lecture Series of the IET.
