Herbert Pickering

Herbert Elmer Lorraine (Lorrie) Pickering (born 29 March 1919) was a New Zealand politician of the National Party, and was a cabinet minister.

He was Minister of Education in the Second National Government in 1972.

He represented the Canterbury electorates of Hurunui from 1961 to 1963, and then Rangiora from 1963 to 1972, when he retired from ill-health.

In 1961 he was one of ten National MPs to vote with the Opposition and remove capital punishment for murder from the Crimes Bill that the Second National Government had introduced.
