Ronw Moelwyn Hughes (6 October 1897 – 1 November 1955), known as Moelwyn Hughes was a Welsh lawyer and a Liberal and Labour politician who was elected to two brief terms as a Member of Parliament (MP). Born in Cardigan, Hughes was educated at the University of Cambridge, where he gained a First Class Honours degree in Law. His family moved to Birkenhead in 1917, and Hughes was elected there as a local councillor. ==Political career== At the 1929 general election, he stood as a Liberal candidate in the safe Labour Party-held constituency of Rhondda West, losing heavily to the sitting Labour MP William John. In October 1930 he was chosen as Liberal candidate for the more winnable Southport〔Southport Liberal Association - The first 100 years〕 seat but at the 1931 General Election, he was well beaten by the Conservative candidate. Soon after Hughes joined the Labour Party, and stood unuccessfully as the Labour candidate in the Cardiganshire constituency at the 1935 general election.〔(Silent film footage ) of his 1935 election campaign in Cardiganshire is available online at the Wellsh "Gathering the Jewels" website〕 He was elected to the House of Commons at an unopposed by-election in 1941, as Member of Parliament for Carmarthen, following the resignation of Labour MP Major Daniel Hopkin MC. However, at the 1945 general election, he lost the seat by 1,279 votes to the Liberal candidate Rhys Hopkin Morris. Hughes returned to Parliament at the 1950 general election, when he was elected as (MP) for the safe Labour seat of Islington North, in North London. He represented the constituency for only one year, until he stepped down at the 1951 general election. A block of flats in Hilldrop Crescent, Holloway, in Islington North, is named Moelwyn Hughes Court. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Moelwyn Hughes」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
