Sir Henry Jackson, 1st Baronet (22 August 1875 – 23 February 1937[1]) was a British mineralogist[2] and later Conservative Party[3] politician.
He was elected at the 1924 general election as the member of parliament (MP) for Wandsworth Central,[3] but was narrowly defeated at the 1929 general election by the Labour Party candidate, Archibald Church.[3] At the next election, in 1931, Church did not stand again, and Jackson retook the seat with a large majority.[3] He was re-elected in 1935,[3] and held the seat until his death in 1937,[3] aged 61.[1]
He was knighted on 1 March 1924,[4] and made a baronet on 4 July 1935[5] for "services in connection with transport questions".[6] The title became extinct on his death.[7]
