Montague Shearman, junior (17 July 1885-4 February 1940) was a barrister, civil servant and socialist politician.
Born in Richmond-upon-Thames, he was the son of Sir Montague Shearman, (1857-1930), judge and athlete and his wife Mary Louise.[1]
A member of the Fabian Society, he was one of four Fabians elected to the London County Council in 1913 as Progressive Party councillors. He was elected a representative for Southwark (Bermondsey). Elections were suspended due to the First World War, and at the next county council in 1919 he was returned for the new electoral division of Bermondsey West.[2] He took up a post in the Intelligence Branch of H.M. Procurator-General's Department during the war and was awarded the OBE in the Birthday Honours 1918.[3]
He stood down from the county council at the 1922 election, and was appointed an Acting First Secretary in the Diplomatic Service in February 1924. He had been acting as an Assistant Legal Adviser to the Foreign Office since 1919.[4]
