Summary
Sir Percy Angier Hurd (18 May 1864 – 5 June 1950) was a British journalist and Conservative Party politician who served as a Member of Parliament for nearly thirty years. He was the first of four generations of Hurds to serve as Conservative MPs.
Early life
Percy Hurd was the eldest son of London-based solicitor William Hurd (1831–1913) and his wife Elizabeth (née Angier, died 1910). He was editor of The Outlook, a weekly magazine published in London from 1898 to 1928. He later became editor of the Canadian Gazette and London editor of the Montreal Star and other journals in Canada. During the First World War he made various visits to the battle-front to study and record the work of the Canadian contingent. He was also a member of the executive committee of the Agricultural Relief of Allies Fund, and twice reported on the needs of the farmers in the provinces of France from which the Germans had been pushed back.
