Ashley Mitchell (1886 – 12 January 1977), was a Yorkshire cloth manufacturer and Liberal Party politician who advocated Georgism.
[4] He held strong Georgist views and was a committed supporter of Free Trade and Land Value Taxation.
[8] In 1929 he gave evidence to the Wool Safeguarding Inquiry in opposition to duties that had been imposed.
[9] In 1931 he was approached to stand for the Liberals at the dual-member Dundee division in Scotland for the 1931 General Election; however, the Liberal candidate was to run in tandem with a Conservative and he was not flexible enough over the issue of protective tariffs to accept the offer.
[12] These were drawn upon by other authors such as Mark Blaug in his biography Henry George (1839-1897) and Jules Gehrke Georgism and the Decline of Liberalism in Interwar Britain.
