Alfred Edwards (politician)
Alfred Edwards (23 March 1888 – 17 June 1958) was a British politician who served for fifteen years as a Member of Parliament (MP). His origins were as a company director in the foundry industry in Middlesbrough, which led him into conflict with the Labour Party when it proposed to nationalise the iron and steel industries; profoundly unable to support the party, he crossed the floor and became an active Conservative Party supporter.
==Family and business==
Edwards' father Thomas was from Middlesbrough〔M. Stenton and S. Lees, "Who's Who of British MPs" vol. IV (Harvester Press, 1981), p. 105.〕 and he was brought up in the town. He was only educated to elementary school level, leaving to work as a labourer in the Diamond grit works foundry.〔"The Times House of Commons 1935", p. 69.〕 His obituary in ''The Times'' said that "by ability and sheer hard work he rose to become a director of an old-established local ironworks",〔"Mr. A. Edwards" (Obituary), ''The Times'', 18 June 1958, p. 12.〕 this being Messrs. Harrison Bros. (England) Ltd.〔 As a director, he had time to pursue other business interests in the town, and also farmed in Guisborough. He was also a frequent visitor to the United States on lecture tours.
