Background and educationThe eldest surviving son of Thomas Emmott, of Brookfield, Oldham, he was educated at Grove House, Tottenham, and at the University of London. He became a partner in Emmott and Walshall, cotton spinners, of Oldham.[1] Political careerIn 1881, Emmott entered the Oldham Municipal Borough Council and was mayor of the town between 1891 and 1892.[1] In 1899 he was elected Liberal Member of Parliament for Oldham, a seat he held until 1911.[2] It was a two-member seat, and Winston Churchill, who started his political career there, was the other MP from 1900 to 1906.[2] He served as Chairman of Ways and Means (Deputy Speaker of the House of Commons) from 1906 to 1911{{Citation needed|date=August 2009}} and was sworn of the Privy Council in 1908.[1][3] In October 1911 he was appointed Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies by H. H. Asquith[1] and the following month he was raised to the peerage as Baron Emmott, of Oldham in the County Palatine of Lancaster.[4] He remained at the Colonial Office until 1914 and was then a member of Asquith's cabinet as First Commissioner of Works between 1914 and 1915.[1] Emmott was also Director of the War Trade Department between 1915 and 1919, chaired the Royal Commission on Decimal Coinage between 1918 and 1920 and was President of the Royal Statistical Society between 1922 and 1924.[1] He was a churchman, but his education at the Friends' School and his ancestry led him to sympathize with nonconformists.{{Citation needed|date=August 2009}} He was appointed a GCMG in 1914 and a GBE in 1917.[1] In his approach to politics, Emmott was a strong supporter of the government's social reforms.[5] This was arguably reflected in 1910 when Emmott, in response to Conservative critics who attacked the Liberals as "socialistic", retorted that "so far as we have gone in the direction of Socialism, so-called, whether it be in regard to free and compulsory education, whether it be in regard to old age pensions, or in respect of any other reform, we have not diminished, but rather added to the liberty of the individual."[6] FamilyLord Emmott married Mary Gertrude, daughter of J. W. Lees, in 1887. They had two daughters. Lady Emmott was a Justice of the Peace for London. Lord Emmott died very suddenly in February 1926, aged 67,[1] from angina pectoris, at his home in London, the day on which he was engaged to speak at a Liberal Party rally.{{Citation needed|date=August 2009}} The barony became extinct on his death as he had no male issue.[1] Styles of address
