Edward "Ted" Rowlands, Baron Rowlands is a politician in Wales. He served as member of Parliament for the Labour Party representing Merthyr Tydfil and Rhymney until he stepped down in 2001. He was appointed a CBE in 2002. He had served as a junior minister under the James Callaghan government.
In a debate on the Falklands War on 3 April, 1982, Rowlands revealed that the British were reading Argentine diplomatic traffic. Rowlands was criticised for revealing this intelligence source, as the likely result of his disclosure was that the Argentinian's would secure their systems and the intelligence would dry up.
In June 2004 he was given a life peerage, as Baron Rowlands, of Merthyr Tydfil and of Rhymney in the County of Mid-Glamorgan.
