Arthur Rhys Barrand (28 October 1861 – 3 August 1941)[1] was a British Liberal Party politician.
[3] Barrand worked as an actuary from 1895 until he was called to bar by the Middle Temple in 1906.
Barrand was selected as Liberal candidate for Pudsey in 1914 for an election that was deferred due to the outbreak of war.
This action ultimately led to the Unionists decision to oppose him at a future election.
After 4 years in the House of Commons he was defeated at the 1922 general election by the Unionist Frederick Fawkes.
