Biography edit

He was the son of Reginald De la Bère from Addlestone in Surrey,[3] educated at Tonbridge School, and during World War I served overseas with the East Surrey Regiment and the Royal Air Force.[3]

After the war he became a director of Hay's Wharf and an Alderman of the City of London for the Tower ward.[3] He was elected a Sheriff of the City of London for 1941-42 [3] and the Lord Mayor of London for 1952–53. He was the first member of the Skinners Company to hold the office of Lord Mayor since Sir Robert Kite in 1766, and no other Skinner has been Lord Mayor since.[4]

He was elected at the 1935 general election as the Member of Parliament for Evesham,[5] and held the seat until the constituency was abolished at the 1950 general election.[1][clarification needed] He was then elected for the new South Worcestershire constituency, and held that seat until he stood down at the 1955 general election.[2]

He was knighted in June 1952,[6] appointed Knight Commander of the Royal Victorian Order in the Coronation Honours of June 1953,[7] and a baronet (of Crowborough) in November 1953.[8][3] He was appointed Knight of the Order of the Dannebrog (Denmark), Knight of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem, and Knight of the Order of the Polar Star (Sweden).[3]

In 1919, he married Marguerite Humphery, daughter of Sir John Humphery. She died in 1969.[3]
