Edwin King Perkins


Colonel Sir Edwin King Perkins VD, CBE (28 February 1855 – 8 January 1937) was a British Conservative Party politician.

At the 1918 general election, he unsuccessfully contested the two-seat Southampton constituency, when both seats were won by Coalition Liberals. At the 1922 general election, when the coalition government had been dissolved, Perkins and the other Conservative candidate Lord Apsley won both seats, defeating the Liberal incumbents. They held the seats until the 1929 general election, which neither Perkins nor Apsley contested.

Perkins was knighted in the Dissolution Honours on 12 July 1929, for political and public services.
