Herbert Butcher
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sir Herbert Walter Butcher (12 June 1901 - 11 May 1966) was a British Conservative and National Liberal politician. He was elected Member of Parliament for Holland with Boston at a 1937 by-election, and served until his retirement at the 1966 general election, when he was replaced by Richard Body. Butcher was knighted after serving as a Lord of Treasury from 1951 to 1953. In 1958, he advised his friend and parliamentary colleague John Poulson to set up a servicing company to win business for his architect's practice. After 29 years as an MP, Butcher died less than two months after his retirement.
