Edwin King Perkins
Colonel Sir Edwin King Perkins VD, CBE[1] (28 February 1855 – 8 January 1937)[2] was a British Conservative Party politician.
At the 1918 general election, he unsuccessfully contested the two-seat Southampton constituency, when both seats were won by Coalition Liberals.[3] At the 1922 general election, when the coalition government had been dissolved, Perkins and the other Conservative candidate Lord Apsley won both seats, defeating the Liberal incumbents.[3] They held the seats until the 1929 general election, which neither Perkins nor Apsley contested.[3]
Perkins was knighted in the Dissolution Honours on 12 July 1929,[1] for political and public services.[4]
