Life
Lyng was a lawyer and from 1927 he worked in various positions as judge, prosecutor and lawyer. From 1934 to 1945 he sat in the local parliament of Trondheim, later from 1955 to 1959 in the city council of Skien . From 1945 he was a member of the Norwegian national parliament in Storting . There he initially represented Levanger and Trondheim until 1953 . Between 1958 and 1965 Lyng was elected representative for the Akershus constituency .
In August 1963, the People's Socialist Party withdrew parliamentary support from the Social Democratic government of Einar Gerhardsen because of the Kings Bay affair . John Lyng was able to win the four bourgeois parties for a Lyng government . However, given the arithmetical left majority in parliament, she lacked any basis for her policy. The end of this first bourgeois government of the post-war period therefore took place after four weeks.
From 1964 to 1965 Lyng was a member of the Norwegian Nobel Committee . From 1964 to 1970 he served as Fylkesmann of Oslo and Akershus . From 1965 to 1970 he was Foreign Minister of the center-right government under Per Borten .
