Arthur Latham


Arthur Charles Latham (14 August 1930 – 3 December 2016) was a British Labour Party politician.

Latham was educated at Royal Liberty School in Romford, Essex, and the London School of Economics. He was elected MP for Paddington North in a 1969 by-election, which he served until 1974 when the seat was abolished in boundary changes. He was then MP for Paddington, which he lost in 1979 to the Conservative John Wheeler by 106 votes (just 0.3% of the total).

He resumed being a councillor on the London Borough of Havering, and was Leader of the Council from 1990 to 1996. Latham was married to Ruby Margaret, who died in November 2000, and they had two children: a son, Howard Arthur, and a daughter, Diana Margaret. He later married Caroline Hurlstone.
