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).
