814 Pandeli Ralli
Constituency : Bridport 1875-80 ; Wallingford 1880-85
Pandeli came in at Bridport after the death of Thomas Mitchell.
Pandeli was born in France and was part of a Greek shipping dynasty. He was educated at King's College London. He was naturalised as a British citizen in 1866. He also had interests in banking. He was a trustee of the British School at Athens and a founder member of the Hellenic Society.
In 1878 Pandeli defended London's Metropolitan Board of Works claiming it had been given too many duties of an incongruous character.
At Wallingford Pandeli raised concerns about the agricultural depression.
Pandeli allowed Lord Kitchener to use his house as a social headquarters during the First World War.
He died in 1928 aged 83.
