Edward Hugh John Neale Dalton, Baron Dalton PC (16 August 1887 13 February 1962) was a British Labour politician, who served as Chancellor of the Exchequer from 1945 to 1947, when he was implicated in a political scandal involving budget leaks. Born in Neath, in Wales, his father, John Neale Dalton was chaplain to Queen Victoria and tutor to the future King. Dalton was educated at the independent Summer Fields School in Summertown, a suburb of Oxford, and then at the independent Eton College, in the small town of Eton in Berkshire, where he was head of his house, but was disappointed not to be elected to "Pop". After leaving school he went up to King's College, Cambridge, where his socialist views, then very rare amongst undergraduates, earned him the nickname "Comrade Hugh". Whilst there, he made three unsuccessful attempts to be elected Secretary of the Cambridge Union. He went on to further study at the London School of Economics andthe Middle Temple. During the First World War, he was called up into the Army Service Corps, later transferring to the Royal Artillery.
