Alfred Balfour (7 September 1885 – 26 January 1963) was a British railwayman and politician. He worked his way up from being a baker's message boy to serve as a member of parliament for fourteen years. He was marked by his loyalty to party and near silence in the House of Commons where he waited eight years after being elected before making his maiden and only speech. ==Youth== Balfour was the son of a shoemaker, and was born in Aberdeen.〔"The Times House of Commons 1950", p. 264.〕 He went only to elementary school, before beginning work as a baker's message boy. He later worked in a sawmill, in a tannery, and as a carter before joining the railways〔"Who Was Who", A & C Black.〕 at the age of 19.〔 In his youth he was a keen amateur boxer, and was for a time the amateur bantamweight boxing champion of the North of Scotland.〔"The Times House of Commons 1945", p. 121.〕
