John Lockie

John Lockie (1863 – 26 January 1906) was a British shipbuilder and Unionist Party politician who sat in the House of Commons as a Member of Parliament for Devonport from 1902 to 1904.

He was the founder of the National Industrial Association, an organization which supposedly sought to promote British trading interests by reconciling the claims of capital and labour.

[1] Lockie unsuccessfully contested the Devonport constituency for the Unionist party in the 1900 general election, and kept a residence there with a view to stand again.

[2] Lockie had spent the intermediate years showing a great deal of attention to the dockyard and the conditions of the men working there, and after a hard-fought election he won the 22 October 1902 by-election by a wafer-thin majority of 0.4%, taking what had for many years been a Liberal seat.
