Frederick Laverack

Frederick Joseph Laverack (1871 – 11 April 1928) was an English social worker, campaigner for the blind and Liberal Member of Parliament.

[2] Laverack qualified as a minister with the Congregational church and had pastorates in Dewsbury, Yorkshire[3] and later in Fulham.

[8] The Anti Waste League was founded by Lord Rothermere in 1921 and campaigned for reductions in government spending and taxation.

As a result of the campaign, the anti-waste call was taken up more vigorously inside the Conservative Party[10] and the League was disbanded in 1922.

The Anti-Waste League endorsed his candidacy [11] but Laverack could not dislodge the sitting Conservative MP Sir Davison Dalziel.

Laverack was re-selected as Liberal candidate and there again faced a three-cornered contest against Conservative and Labour opponents.
