John Scurr
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John Scurr (6 April 1876 – 10 July 1932) was a Labour Party politician in the United Kingdom who served as Member of Parliament (MP) for Mile End from 1923 to 1931.
At the 1918 general election, he unsuccesfully contested the Conservative Party safe seat of Buckingham. He was defeated again at the 1922 general election in the Mile End constituency in the East End of London.
Scurr won the Mile End seat at the 1923 general election, unseating the Conservative MP Sir Walter Preston. He was re-elected in 1924 and 1929, but lost his seat when the Labour Party split at the 1931 general election.
He died the following year, aged 56.
