Barber lost his first attempt to enter Parliament in 1950, but the following year entered for Doncaster, where he eventually became Lord Commissioner to the Treasury. Under his friend <a href="/people/993/000027912/">Edward Heath</a> he assumed Chancellorship of the Exchequer after the death of Iain Macleod after only six weeks in office. During Barber's tenure the VAT (Value Added Tax) was first introduced. After service for the government he became Chairman of Standard Chartered Bank (1974-87). He died from the effects of Parkinson's in 2005.<p><b>Father:</b> John Barber (CBE, assistant to Lord Leverhulme)<br><b>Brother:</b> Kenneth (Secretary of Midland Bank)<br><b>Brother:</b> Noel Barber (journalist and author)<br><b>Wife:</b> Jean Asquith (m. 1950, d. 1983, two daughters)<br><b>Wife:</b> Rosemary Youens (m. 1989, d. 2003)<br><p> High School: King Edward VI's Grammar School, Retford<br> University: <a href="/edu/486/000068282/">Oriel College, Oxford University</a><br><p> <a href="/gov/409/000052253/">Chancellor of the Exchequer</a> (1970-74)<br> <a href="/gov/852/000164360/">Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster</a> (1970)<br> <a href="/gov/756/000047615/">UK Member of Parliament</a> for Altrincham and Sale (1965-74)<br> <a href="/gov/929/000164437/">UK Minister of Health</a> (1963-64)<br> <a href="/gov/933/000164441/">UK Financial Secretary to the Treasury</a> (1962-63)<br> <a href="/gov/756/000047615/">UK Member of Parliament</a> for Doncaster (1951-64)<br> <a href="/honors/350/000093071/">Life Peerage</a> 1974 as Lord Barber of Wentbridge<br> <a href="/event/114/000164619/">Taken Prisoner of War</a> <br> Risk Factors: <a href="/lists/789/000064597/">Parkinson's</a><br> <p> <br> <p> <table> <tr> <td align=right valign=middle style="padding-right: 5px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 22px; font-style: italic; color: #ff3333;">New!</span><br> <a href="http://mapper.nndb.com/" class="fotmlink" style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; color: #dd0000;">NNDB MAPPER</a></td> <td valign=middle align=right style="border-left: 1px solid #bbb; padding-left: 5px;">Create a map starting with</td> <td valign=middle align=right><a href="http://mapper.nndb.com/start/?id=109676"><img src="/man.gif" border=0 style="padding: 2px;"></a></td> <td align=left valign=middle> <a href="http://mapper.nndb.com/start/?id=109676">Anthony Barber</a></td> </tr> </table> <font face="Trebuchet MS, arial, helvetica, sans-serif" size="-2">Requires Flash 7+ and Javascript.</font> <br><br><p> <font size=-1>Do you know something we don't?</font><br> <font size=-1><a href="http://commentary.nndb.com/submit/feedback/?id=109676" rel="nofollow">Submit a correction or make a comment about this profile</a></font><br> <p> <br><br><p><font size=-1>Copyright ©2019 Soylent Communications</font><p> </td></tr></table> </td></tr> </table> </td> <td width=180 align="center" valign="top" style="padding: 0px 0px 8px 25px;"></td></tr> </table> </center> </body> </html>
