  A. V. Alexander, 1st Earl Alexander of Hillsborough - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Born in Weston-super-Mare and one of four children, A. Alexander was the son of Albert Alexander, a flsmith and later engineer who had moved from his native Wiltshire to Bristol during the agricultural depression of the 1860s and 1870s, and Eliza Jane Thatcher, daughter of a policeman.
Macdonald's primary concern was international disarmament, and Alexander persuaded the Admiralty to reduce their demands for new cruisers as a prelude to negotiations aimed at ending naval rivalry with the U.S.A. In January 1930, a conference between the five major naval powers (Britain, the US, France, Italy and Japan) was held in London.
Alexander was prominent on the Opposition front bench, leading attacks on the government's policies, but was careful not to exploit the widespread dissatisfaction with pay cuts in the armed forces (especially the Invergordon Mutiny), concerned that the military should not become involved in political matters.
