Stuart Samuel (politician)

Sir Stuart Montagu Samuel, 1st Baronet (24 October 1856 – 13 May 1926) was a British banker and Liberal politician who was Member of Parliament for Whitechapel.

He attended the Liverpool Institute and University College School, Hampstead, London.

Over the course of four general election campaigns in Whitechapel, Samuel had increased the Liberal share of the vote each time, taking it from 50.4% to 59.2%, changing the constituency from a marginal to a safe seat.

In April 1913 he undertook a contract for the Government, which required him to resign his seat and face re-election at a by-election.
