Major Geoffrey Clegg Hutchinson, Baron Ilford QC, MC, TD (14 October 1893 – 21 August 1974)[1] was a British soldier, a barrister and Conservative Party politician.

Background and military career

Born in Prestwich, he was the youngest son of the cotton manufacturer Henry Omerod Hutchinson and his wife Elizabeth Clegg.[1] He was educated at Cheltenham College and went then to Clare College, Cambridge, graduating with a Master of Arts in 1919.[3] In 1920 Hutchinson was called to the bar by the Inner Temple and went to the Northern Circuit.[4] He was nominated a Queen's Counsel in 1939 and was selected a bencher in 1946.[4]

With the outbreak of the First World War in 1914, Hutchinson joined the Lancashire Fusiliers.[4] He was attached to the British Expeditionary Force until the end of the war and during this time was wounded.[4] In 1916 he was decorated with the Military Cross[4] and in 1933 obtained a captaincy.[2] He was promoted to major in 1937[3] and was awarded the Territorial Decoration in the next year.[4]

After the begin of the Second World War he was reactivated in 1940 and sent with the then Expeditionary Force to the Franco-Belgian border.[4] Hutchinson was allocated to the War Office in the following year, where he served as deputy assistant to the Military Secretary.[4] He retired in 1945 having reached the age limit[4] and was appointed honorary colonel of the 5th battalion of his former regiment in 1948.[5]

Political career

In 1931 Hutchinson joined Hampstead Borough Council, on which he sat for six years.[16] Subsequently he served as president of the Non-County Boroughs Association until 1944 and chaired then the finance committee of the London County Council until 1949.[6] Hutchinson continued to represent Hampstead in the County Council until 1952.[16] He was chosen vice-president of the Association of Municipal Corporations in 1944.[7]

After unsuccessfully running for Gower in 1935, Hutchinson entered the House of Commons in 1937, retaining Ilford for the Conservatives at a by-election.[8][9] He represented that constituency until it was abolished in 1945,[9] That year he ran for the new seat of Ilford North and lost, but won it in 1950 and 1951.[8] In Parliament, Hutchinson became a member of the Select Committee on National Expenditure in 1942 and of the Speaker's Committee in 1944.[4] He sat in the Joint Committee on Consolidation, &c., Bills in 1951 and again two years later.[4]

Hutchinson was almoner and governor of Christ's Hospital.[10] In 1947 he became director of the Colne Valley Water and three years later was president of the British Waterworks Association.[4] He worked in the same function for the Water Companies Association from 1951 and chaired the East Surrey Water Company from the subsequent year.[11] He resigned from Parliament in 1954, when he became chairman of the National Assistance Board, a position he held until 1964.[11][12] He received a knighthood in 1952[13] and he became a life peer with the title Baron Ilford, of Bury, in the County Palatine of Lancaster on 14 May 1962.[14]
