Sir Frederick Hall, 1st Baronet
- Sir Frederick Hall, 1st Baronet
Lieutenant-Colonel Sir Frederick Hall (October 7 1864 – April 28 1932) was a British businessman and politician.
He was educated privately and became a member of Lloyd's of London in 1896 and the Baltic Exchange in 1902. He was a member of the Committee of Lloyd's from 1921 to 1923. He was also a director of a number of companies, especially in the electricity supply industry.
A personal friend of the politician Andrew Bonar Law, he succeeded him as Conservative Member of Parliament for Dulwich in the December, 1910 general election, and held the seat in succeeding elections until his death in 1932.
From 1907 to 1913 he was a member of London County Council for Dulwich, and was also a governor of Dulwich College Estates, a trustee of the Crystal Palace, and a magistrate in Surrey.
Of his service in parliament, the "Times" said: "he was known for his zeal in questioning ministers, and for his ingenuity in devising 'supplementaries'. He was a strong party man, and was accustomed to express his opinions with a vigour which sometimes aroused the anger of his opponents, though his genial personality made him genuinely popular."
During the First World War he raised 17 batteries of artillery and commanded the Camberwell Gun Brigade. He was awarded the DSO and the KBE in 1918, and was made a baronet in 1923.
He married in 1892, and had four children, including his son Frederick Henry Hall, who succeeded him to the baronetcy.
