Sir Robert John Price (26 April 1854 – 18 April 1926)[1] was a British surgeon, barrister and Liberal Party politician. He sat in the House of Commons from 1892 to 1918, and was one of only a few British politicians to have also pursued careers in both medicine and the law.[2]
He was the son of Edward Price of Highgate, North London and his wife Elvina née Mountford.[3] He was educated at Cholmeley School, better known as Highgate School, in Highgate and at University College Hospital, where he graduated M.R.C.S.E. in 1876.[3] He was called to the bar at the Middle Temple in 1883.[3]
Price elected at the 1892 general election as the Member of Parliament (MP) for East Norfolk,[4] and held the seat until he retired from Parliament at the 1918 general election.
He was knighted in 1908.[3]
Price died on 18 April 1926, at age 71, at Sussex Mansions in London.[2]
In 1881 he married Eva Montgomery, daughter of Jasper Wilson Johns, who had been a Liberal MP for the Nuneaton division of Warwickshire.[3]
