Ernest Kinghorn
Ernest Kinghorn (1 November 1907 – 15 January 2001)[1][2] was a British Labour Party politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1945 to 1951. Kinghorn was born in Leeds, and became a teacher after studying at the universities of Leeds, Basle and Lille.[3] During World War II he served as an intelligence officer with the Royal Air Force, and in 1945 he was a staff officer with the Control Commission in Germany.[3]
He unsuccessfully contested the Hexham division of Northumberland at the 1935 general election,[4] but at the general election in July 1945 he was elected as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Great Yarmouth.[5] He was re-elected in 1950,[6] but at the 1951 general election he was defeated by the Conservative Party candidate Anthony Fell.[7] He stood again in 1955, but without success.[8]
