Frederick William (Bill) Schramm (1886–1962) was a New Zealand politician of the Labour Party. He was the eleventh Speaker of the House of Representatives, from 1944 to 1946.
He was the Member of Parliament for Auckland East from 1931 to 1946, when he was defeated.[1]
He was born in Hokitika of Danish parents, and was a lawyer. He married Alice Amelia Peard in 1918; they had two daughters. Originally an ally of John A. Lee, they fell out and Schramm moved for Lee's expulsion at the 1940 Labour conference. Lee supported the National candidate Duncan Rae for his election in the Parnell electorate in 1946.
In 1935, Schramm was awarded the King George V Silver Jubilee Medal.[2]
He died in Auckland in 1962.[1]
