Herbert Matthews (agriculturalist)
Sir Alfred Herbert Henry Matthews (1870-1958) was an English agriculturalist and politician.
Career
Matthews became the Secretary of the Central Chamber of Agriculture in 1901 and continued in this role until 1927.[1] In 1926, Matthews took a reduction in his salary of £120 to ensure that the finances of the Central Chamber remained stable, in return for a decrease in expenditure.[2]
Matthews was President of the Institute of Traffic Administration[3] and also President of the Industrial Transport Association.[4] Matthews was also a President of the Mansion Housing Association and a Chairman of Fraser Trust Ltd.[5] Matthews also sat on the Agricultural Committee of the British Science Guild.[6] In Parliament, Lord Lloyd referenced Sir Herbert, saying "I need not tell your Lordships who Sir Herbert Matthews is or cite the value of his authority to you: it is well known."[7]
