Title
J.H. Whitley, MP - HCC00816
Description
J.H. Whitley (1866-1935) was Liberal MP for Halifax in the West Riding of Yorkshire from 1900 to 1928 and Speaker of the House of Commons from 1921 to 1928. He presided over the transition to democracy in Britain and the emergence of Labour as a party of government. In 2011, Whitley’s political papers were deposited at the University of Huddersfield Archives, now housed in the HLF-funded Heritage Quay at the University of Huddersfield. This painting, by T. LeDieu of Halifax, hung in the House of Commons, and was loaned to Pennine Heritage in order to photogragraph it by Mr Paul Kershaw.
