1433 Robert Craig


Constituency : Glasgow  Govan  1900-06

Robert  took  over  from  John  Wilson  ( not  the  one  from  the  previous  post )  at  Glasgow  Govan.

Robert  was  a  corn  merchant  and  spoke  out  against  flour  duries  in  the  1902  budget. He said  that  a  grain  tax  would  reduce  bread  supplies  and  make  it  easy  for  an  enemy  to  starve the  UK  into  submission.

He  died  in  1913  aged  74.
