Wilfrid Sugden

Sir Wilfrid Hart Sugden (1879 – 27 April 1960) was a Conservative Party politician in the United Kingdom. A Member of Parliament (MP) for fourteen years, he represented three different constituencies, losing his seat twice and losing in three other elections which he contested.

He was elected at the 1918 general election as MP for Royton in Lancashire. He was returned with a reduced majority at the 1922 election, but was defeated at the 1923 general election by the Liberal Party candidate William Gorman.

Sugden returned to Parliament at the 1924 general election as MP for the marginal The Hartlepools, where he defeated the sitting Liberal MP William Jowitt.

At the 1929 general election, he did not seek re-election in The Hartlepools, where the Liberals regained the seat. Instead, he contested Rossendale in Lancashire, where the Conservative MP Robert Waddington had stood down. Sugden was defeated again, winning 30.1% of the votes in a tight three-way contest; he polled only 2,399 votes less than the successful Labour candidate Arthur Law.
