2039 Stephen Dodds
Constituency : Wirral 1923-4
Stephen took Wirral from the Tories, aided by Labour's withdrawal from the contest.
Stephen was the son of a local magistrate. He was educated at Rydal School, Colwyn Bay and Cambridge. He became a solicitor, founding his own firm in partnership in 1910. He was a Methodist.
Many of his parliamentary interventions were about foot and mouth disease.
Stephen was defeated in 1924 despite Labour standing aside. When they did come back in, in 1929 they prevented Stephen re-taking the seat.
He died in 1943 aged 62.
