Evelyn Violet Elizabeth Emmet, Baroness Emmet of Amberley (18 March 1899 – 10 October 1980), née Rodd, was a British Conservative Party politician.
Emmet was the daughter of Lilias Georgina (Guthrie) and the diplomat Rennell Rodd, 1st Baron Rennell, and was educated at St Margaret's School, Bushey and at Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford. She was a member of London County Council from 1925 to 1934, of West Sussex County Council from 1946 to 1967, and of the Conservative Women's National Advisory Committee 1951 to 1954.
At the 1955 general election, she was elected as Member of Parliament for East Grinstead. She held the seat until 1965, when she was elevated to a life peerage as Baroness Emmet of Amberley, of Amberley in the County of Sussex,[1] triggering a by-election in East Grinstead.[2]
In the House of Lords, she served as deputy speaker from 1968 to 1977.
