Hubert Lister Parker, Baron Parker of Waddington (28 May 1900 to 15 September 1972) was a British judge, the son of Robert Parker, Baron Parker of Waddington, himself a Lord of Appeal in Ordinary, who was educated at Rugby School and Trinity College, Cambridge, where he took a double first in Natural Sciences. Called to the bar in 1924 and appointed Treasury Devil, the government's junior counsel, in 1945, he became a judge of the High Court in 1950, a Lord Justice of Appeal in 1954, and Lord Chief Justice of England from 1958 to 1971, a tenure marked by markedly less controversy than that of his predecessor, Lord Goddard. As Lord Chief Justice he sentenced the spy George Blake to 42 years imprisonment, then the longest sentence passed in an English court, and he introduced the first sentencing conference in 1964 and formal judicial training later in the decade. He died in 1972 at a cattle farm he ran with his wife of 48 years.
