BARON BANBURY PASSES
ENTERED COMMONS
IN 1892 ·
PROMINENT IN INDUSTRY
London, Aug, 13. The death is announced, at the age of 85 years, of Baron Banbury, former Conservative politician.-Reuter,
The Inte Lord Banbury was educat- ed at Winchester. He entered the Stock Exchange and was a director of various companies. In 1892 he en tered the Commons as M.P. for Peckham and became known as а constant critle on business matters and an expert on parliamentary pro- cedure, his knowledge being chiefly employed in connection with the blocking of bills. Lord, Banbury was created a baronet in 1002 Af the general election in 1906 he lost hir Meat, but a few months later was returned for the City of London for which he sat until he was raised to the peerage in 1924 as Baron Ban- bury of Southam. Created a Privy Councillor in 1916, he became chair- man of the Great Northern Raliway in 1917, holding the post until the big railway amalgamations took place...
OLD-FASHIONED TORY
Lord Banbury was an old-fashioned Tory and was too renetionary for the comfort of most of his own party. The natural enemy of all bills be was famous for the determination with which he talked measures out.
He even talked out bills like that for
giving the press the statutory right of admission to meetings of public bodies: A typical explost of his wax, performed in connection with the Land Tenure Bill which aimed at
G
doing something for the tenant and limiting the power of the Inndlord. It had to be voted by 5 p.m. and at 4 the debate petered out, but Ban- butes, and spoke against time
Inte to Lake it was too division. While he was number for Peckham, he fought against the pro- posal to allow the traius from South London to cross the bridges, although this was for the convenience of his cunalituents. The sequel was his de-
feat in 1906,
An anti-vivisectionist and a great lover of animals and birds he actual ly promoted a bill directed against a certain cruel way of killing birds and carried it through.
His only son, Capt. C. W. Banbury, was killed in the war and his heir is his grandson Charles William Ban- bury, born in 1915.
H.K. ISLAMIC UNION
LACK OF INTEREST DEPLORED
The lack of interest taken by the majority of the members in the wel fare of the Union was deplored by the General Committee of the Hong- kong Islamic Union in their manual report which has just been issued.
As a result of this poor support, the Committee have suggested, with much regret and due consideration for the hardship on a small minority of the members, that the Union be wound up, and a resolution to this effect will be put forward at the an- nual general meeting to be held on August 23, at 11 am.. at the Cemetery Mosque, Happy Valley..
It is earnestly hoped that every member will endeavour to be pre sent to record his opinion on this vital question.
