Constituency : Buckrose 1945-50
George took the always marginal Buckrose from the Tories in a straight fight.
George was from Halifax. He was educated at Heath Grammar School and Willaston College, Nantwich. He was a director of a chemical company. He was the founding chairman of Halifax Round Table. He was a Halifax town councillor from 1938.
In parliament, George served on the Public Accounts Select Committee and went on delegations to Europe.
Buckrose was abolished in 1950. George contested Bridlington but was well beaten by the Tory in a three cornered contest.
George joined the National Liberals and contested Sheffield Hillsborough in 1951 as a National Liberal and Conservative but did little to dent Labour's majority.
He died in 1979 aged 76.
