- Sir Leslie Arthur Plummer, known to friends as Dick was a British farmer, newspaper executive and politician. He was in charge of the Overseas Food Corporation during the disastrous Tanganyika groundnut scheme in the late 1940s; later he became a Labour Party Member of Parliament where he pioneered attempts to outlaw racial discrimination.
- Leslie Arthur Plummer war ein britischer Landwirtschaftsexperte, Verleger und Politiker. Bereits 1922 übernahm er eine Führungsposition in der Verlagsleitung des New Leader, der Parteizeitung der sozialistisch orientierten Independent Labour Party. Er gründete The Miner und wurde zum Verlagsleiter der Daily Express Group. 1948 wurde er von seinem Freund John Strachey, zu dieser Zeit Ernährungsminister, zum Vorstandsvorsitzenden der Overseas Food Corporation (OFC) ernannt und im Juni 1949 zum Ritter geschlagen. Im Herbst 1949 wurden die Probleme des von der OFC betriebenen Tanganyika Groundnut Scheme offenkundig und Plummer ebenso wie Strachey von der Opposition im Unterhaus dafür verantwortlich gemacht. Plummer trat im Mai 1950 von seinem Amt zurück. Von Oktober 1951 bis zu seinem Tode war er Parlamentsmitglied für die Labour Party.
