THE RIGHT HONOURABLE Ernest George Pretyman, P.C. (13 November, 1859 – 26 November, 1931) was a Unionist politician who held the office of Civil Lord of the Admiralty from 1900 to 1903, and again from 1916 to 1919, and as Parliamentary and Financial Secretary to the Board of Admiralty from 1903 to 1905.
Life & Career
Said Norman MacLeod, one time Private Secretary to the Civil Lord of the Admiralty, "Pretyman was not the most congenial of my chiefs, but he was certainly the ablest and it was sheer bad luck that he never reached Cabinet rank."[1]
Pretyman was made Chairman of the Admiralty Reconstruction Committee by Sir Eric Geddes.
