Sir Percy Angier Hurd (18 May 1864 – 5 June 1950)[1][2] was a British journalist and Conservative Party politician who served as a Member of Parliament for nearly thirty years.

He was also a member of the executive committee of the Agricultural Relief of Allies Fund, and twice reported on the needs of the farmers in the provinces of France from which the Germans had been pushed back.

The seat had been held by the Liberal Party for all but nine of the preceding fifty years, but Hurd's possession of the "coalition coupon" issued to supporters of David Lloyd George's Liberal-Conservative coalition government combined with a strong showing from a Labour Party candidate allowed him to win the seat, ousting Sir John Barlow who had represented Frome since 1896.

[5] Hurd did not stand again in Frome; at the next general election in October 1924 he stood instead in the Devizes division of Wiltshire, a Conservative-leaning constituency which had been gained by the Liberals in 1923.

Hurd took the seat with a majority of over 20% of the vote, and remained as MP for Devizes until he retired from Parliament at the 1945 general election.
