Sidney Schofield

Sidney Schofield (22 March 1911 – December 1992) was a Labour Party politician in the United Kingdom who served as a Member of Parliament (MP) for little over a year.

Born in Pontefract, Schofield was elected MP for Barnsley at the 1951 general election. The incumbent, Frank Collindridge, had died during the campaign for that election, and Schofield was selected as the Labour candidate in his place; polling day was delayed to 8 November.

Schofield resigned his seat less than two years later, on 21 January 1953, and at the resulting by-election on 31 March, the future cabinet minister Roy Mason was elected as his replacement. Schofield died in Barnsley in 1992 aged 81.
