==Life and career==
Byng was the eldest son of George Byng, 1st Viscount Torrington, and Margaret Master. He served in the British Army as a Cornet and later Captain from 1715 to 1718. He resigned from the Army due to his father's elevation to Viscount Torrington and succeeded him as the Member of Parliament for Plymouth (1721–1727). He also served as MP for Bedfordshire (1727–1733).
In 1724, he became the Treasurer of the Navy for the following decade, and from 1727 to 1733 served alongside his father, who had become the First Lord of the Admiralty, until his father's death when Byng succeeded to the Torrington viscouncy. During this time in 1732 he became a Privy Councillor and a Commissioner of Greenwich Hospital.
In 1734, upon taking his seat in the House of Lords, he was given the position of Vice Treasurer and Paymaster General of Ireland and by 1746, he became the Captain of the Yeomen of the Guard. He served in both positions until his death.
