2001 Albert Hillary
Constituency : Harwich 1922-24
Albert took Harwich from the Tories in a straight fight. He was an Asquithian.
Albert was originally from Durham. He was managing director of a chocolate firm in Glasgow. He contested Barnard Castle in 1918 but came third.
Albert held on in 1923 but was defeated in 1924. There was a Labour candidate then but his votes would not have been sufficient to save Albert.
Albert called for a minimum wage for agricultural workers. He voted with Labour on the Campbell case.
He died in 1954 aged 86.
