prime minister of New Zealand

New Zealand lawyer and statesman who had a leading role in the Cabinets of Prime Minister William Ferguson Massey (Massey, William Ferguson) (1912–25). He himself also served for a short time as prime minister of New Zealand (1925).

Bell was initially a successful lawyer, and upon entering politics he served three terms as mayor of Wellington, N.Z. During a term in the House of Representatives (1893–96), he formed a close attachment with W.F. Massey. When Massey became prime minister as head of the Reform Party in the general elections of 1912, he asked Bell to lead the Legislative Council. Bell proved an able administrator and legislator, particularly during the coalition government of World War I. He was knighted in 1915. After the war, Bell was effectively Massey's deputy, serving three times as acting prime minister. He also held several ministerial portfolios in Massey's postwar administration. Upon Massey's death in 1925, Bell served as prime minister only until the Reform Party chose a new leader.
