Encyclopedia > Humphrey Atkins

Humphrey Atkins (August 12, 1922 - October 4, 1996) was a British Conservative politician who served as Secretary of State for Northern Ireland from 1979-1981 before being appointed in September 1981 as Lord Privy Seal in which he was the chief government spokesman in the House of Commons for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs.

The accused and Humphrey characterized their meeting as a shareholders' meeting wherein Humphrey appointed the accused as president of CSI for the sole purpose of executing the Nepom settlement document.
