J.H. Whitley came from an established business family in Halifax,
where he engaged in youth work and municipal politics before
becoming MP for Halifax from 1900 to 1928. He was a Liberal Radical
who worked with Labour, gave his name to the industrial councils of
the First World War, was Speaker of the House of Commons 1921-28
presiding over the debates at the time of the General Strike of
1926. In 1929-31 he toured India as chairman of the Royal
Commission on Indian Labour and was chairman of the BBC between
1930 and 1935. He was thus a vitally important political figure who
was active at the rise of Labour and the decline of Liberalism,
involved in the Liberal reforms of the Edwardian age, and deeply
concerned about industrial relations in early twentieth century
Britain and beyond. This volume brings together leading academics
and provides new information and analysis on the life, work and
times of J.H. Whitley, offering a study of his career in British
politics and society, focusing particularly on the last decade of
the nineteenth century and the first three decades of the twentieth
century.
