Arthur Duckworth
George Arthur Victor Duckworth (3 January 1901 – 14 November 1986),[1] known as Arthur Duckworth, was a British Conservative Party politician.
He was elected as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Shrewsbury at the 1929 general election.[2] He was re-elected in 1931[3] and 1935,[4] and held the seat until he retired from the House of Commons at the 1945 election.[5]
In 1936, he won 7th place in the ballot for private member's bills,[6] and proposed to bring forward a Medical and Surgical Appliances (Advertisement) Bill.[6]
He announced in April 1945 that he would not stand again at the next election.[7]
Personal life
Duckworth married Alice Frances Hammond, an fifth-generation descendant of Cornelius Vanderbilt, in March 1927.[8] The couple were divorced in February 1945, on the grounds of his wife's adultery in New York.[8]
