Arthur Leonard Bateman (22 August 1879 – 8 May 1957) was a British businessman and Conservative Party politician.
In April 1932 the North Camberwell Liberal and Radical Association organised protests calling for his resignation.
[8] By the time the next election was called in 1935 Bateman had made it clear that he no longer wished to represent North Camberwell as the constituency had shown him "no gratitude".
[9] When this did not occur he decided to stand as an independent in the neighbouring seat of Peckham, although he withdrew his candidacy prior to the election.
[2] Apart from his political and business activities, Bateman was the founder of a charity, the Camberwell Children's Christmas Treat and Summer Holiday Camp Fund.
