William Perring

Sir William George Perring (17 March 1866 – 24 August 1937)[1] was a British Conservative politician.

[2] He was first elected to the House of Commons at the 1918 general election as Member of Parliament (MP) for Paddington North, when he stood as a Coalition Conservative (a holder of the "coalition coupon" issued to supporters of the coalition government led by David Lloyd George").

[3] Perring laid the foundation stone for the Porchester Centre in Bayswater in 1923, and opened the building in 1925.

He also bequeathed a sculpture, The Reading Girl, which remains part of the entrance hall in this Grade II* listed building.
