Egerton Percival Wake (1871 – March 1929) was a prominent official in the British Labour Party.
Born in Chatham in Kent, Wake trained as a law clerk and an accountant.
He joined the Independent Labour Party (ILP) in the 1890s, and became chair of its Lancashire Divisional Council, while also serving on its National Committee.
[2] He was selected by the ILP as their candidate in Stockton-on-Tees for the general election expected in 1914 or 1915, but after the Labour Party sponsored an ILP candidate in nearby Bishop Auckland, Wake decided there was no chance of obtained its backing himself, and so withdrew.
In October 1919, he was given the vacant post of National Agent, in which he worked closely with Arthur Henderson to centralise the party, while also organising regional conferences.
