Arthur Neal

Arthur Neal (23 September 1862 - 29 January 1933) was a British politician.

Born in Sheffield, Neal attended Wesley College before becoming a solicitor. He was elected to Sheffield City Council as a Liberal in 1903, holding a seat until 1921.

Neal stood for Parliament in Sheffield Hallam at both the January and December 1910 UK general elections. At the 1918 election, he won the new constituency of Sheffield Hillsborough as a supporter of the UK Coalition Government, and in November 1919, he became the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Transport.

In 1922, Neal lost his seat, and in 1923 and 1924, he instead stood in Bassetlaw, before trying Gainsborough in 1929.

Neal was also the President of Sheffield's Chamber of Commerce.
