Rawdon Briggs was a British politician.
Briggs lived in Halifax, where his father was a prominent banker. At the 1832 UK general election, he stood for the Whigs in Halifax, winning a seat. In Parliament, he supported free trade and the introduction of a property tax, and argued for the gradual abolition of taxes on corn. He also argued against monopolies and for church rates to be abolished.[1]
Briggs stood down at the 1835 UK general election.[1]
