Theodore Carr

(William) Theodore Carr CBE (30 July 1866 – 31 January 1931) was an English industrialist and Liberal politician.

A keen motorist he was appointed to the command of the Cumberland Army Service Motor Mechanical Transport Volunteers.

[2] At the 1918 general election, Carr was nominated as the Coalition Liberal candidate for his home town seat of Carlisle.

[4] With the fall of the Coalition in 1922, the Unionists voted to stand a candidate of their own in Carlisle, even though Carr had the support of some prominent Conservatives.

The Carlisle Liberal Association had remained unified during the period of the Coalition, despite the national split between the supporters of David Lloyd George and H H Asquith and again threw their support behind Carr, although he chose to stand as a National Liberal, indicating his status as a supporter of outgoing prime minister David Lloyd George.
