- Leslie Scott (UK politician)
Sir Leslie Frederic Scott, KC, PC (28 October 1869 – 19 May 1950) was a Conservative Party politician in the United Kingdom, and later a senior judge.
He was elected as Member of Parliament (MP) for Liverpool Exchange at the December 1910 general election, and held the seat until he retired from Parliament at the 1929 general election.
Scott was Solicitor General for six months in 1922, until fall of the Lloyd George-led coalition government, and was knighted the same year. He had hoped to be appointed Attorney General, but never reached that office.
He was made a privy counselor in 1927, and after leaving the House of Commons, he returned to his private legal practice. In 1935 he was appointed as an Appeals Court judge, and in 1940 became the senior lord justice. He retired in 1948, and died in Oxford in 1950.
