Sir John James Withers CBE MP (21 December 1863 – 29 December 1939) was a British politician.[1] He was Conservative Member of Parliament (MP) for Cambridge University from 1926 to 1939.[1]
He was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire in the 1918 New Year Honours for his efforts during the First World War.[2]
A by-election was carried out on the 13th of February 1926 in which Withers was unopposed. He was knighted in the 1929 Dissolution Honours for political and public service.[3]
He later died in office during a Conservative majority, and was replaced by Archibald Vivian Hill. Withers was a pupil at Eton college, and then went on to read law at Kings College at the University of Cambridge.[4]
