Sir William George Perring (17 March 1866 – 24 August 1937)[1] was a British Conservative politician.
A member of Paddington Borough Council, he served as mayor of Paddington from 1911 to 1912.[2] He was first elected to the House of Commons at the 1918 general election as Member of Parliament (MP) for Paddington North, when he stood as a Coalition Conservative (a holder of the "coalition coupon" issued to supporters of the coalition government led by David Lloyd George"). He was re-elected at the next three elections, and retired from the House of Commons at the 1929 general election.[3]
Perring laid the foundation stone for the Porchester Centre in Bayswater in 1923, and opened the building in 1925. He also bequeathed a sculpture, The Reading Girl, which remains part of the entrance hall in this Grade II* listed building.[4] [5]
He died on 24 August 1937, aged 71.
