Leslie Burgin

Dr Edward Leslie Burgin (1887-1945) was a British Liberal National politician in the 1930s.

Burgin trained as a solicitor specialising in international law and served as principal and director of legal studies to the Law Society. In the 1929 general election he was elected as Liberal Member of Parliament for Luton. Along with other Liberal MPs he joined the Liberal Nationals in 1931. In 1932 he was appointed Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Trade. In 1937 Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain appointed him as Minister of Transport. Two years later he was appointed as the first Minister of Supply in April 1939. As the post had not yet been established in law, he formally served as Minister without Portfolio for the first three months. His appointment was aimed to appeal to liberal minded opinion but was criticised as being inappropriate - A. J. P. Taylor described Burgin as being "another horse from Caligula's well stocked stables" (a follow-up to contemporary remarks about the earlier appointment of Sir Thomas Inskip as Minister for Coordination of Defence). When Chamberlain was replaced by Winston Churchill, Burgin was replaced.
