Sir Edward Leigh Pemberton KCB DL (14 May 1823 – 31 January 1910)[1] was an English Conservative Party politician.
[2] He was elected to the House of Commons as a Member of Parliament (MP) for East Kent at a by-election in May 1868, after the sitting Conservative MP Sir Brook Bridges had been ennobled as Baron FitzWalter.
Even when he left the Board and missed several meetings, he was immediately elected Chairman when he resumed attendance and all continued as though nothing had happened.
His son Robert Leigh Pemberton was the grandfather of Robin Leigh-Pemberton, who was created a life peer as Baron Kingsdown in 1993.
