This is a very interesting article, about a man with a long and distinguished career. It's in very good shape, and I have reviewed it below according to the criteria for Good Articles.

The use of prose is good within the article and all-in-all, it is very well written.

The layout is good, particularly the lead section which summarises the rest of the article well.

The article is well referenced. I've changed the link to the list of witnesses to the Iraq Enquiry to 1 February as it was linking to 11 January.
B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary: 
There are plenty of appropriately placed citations. However, could you find a reference for Baron Walker's place of birth and education?
It is referenced. It's the very first reference (the BBC article "A Lifetime of Service"). HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts?   21:53, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

I have just checked Debrett's Peerage 2019 and found that he blazon for Walker's shield of arms specifies three acorns Or, not four as had been written here originally. I have corrected both the text and my illustration. I notice that the text which was here before had no source listed. Robin S. Taylor (talk) 16:03, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
