Chamberlain family isn't a traditional Tory family. Old Joseph Chamberlain was one of most progressive Liberals in 1880s, but he was very pro-Empire.

He took the gas and water companies in Birmingham into municipal ownership + supported tariffs (though the latter was more for nationalistic reasons than progressive)

There aren't really any progressive reasons for supporting tariffs (at least not in the UK).

As the GOM often said. Cheesy
