Christopher James Parr

Christopher James Parr, later known as Sir James Parr (1869–1941) was a New Zealand lawyer and politician of the Reform Party. He was Mayor of Auckland from 1911 to 1915, succeeded by Sir James Gunson.

He represented the electorate of Eden from 1914 to 1926, when he resigned to take up his appointment as High Commissioner in London. The resulting by-election was won by the Labour Party, because the Reform Party vote was split.

He had been Minister of Education and Minister of Health.

From 1926 to 1930 and 1935 to 1936 he was High Commissioner to the United Kingdom. He was appointed a member of the Legislative Council in 1931, and resigned in 1933.

He was made CMG in 1914, and KCMG in 1924.
