Hilton Philipson
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hilton Philipson (5 November 1892 – 12 April 1941) was a politician in the United Kingdom.
Standing as a National Liberal Party candidate, he was elected at the 1922 general election as Member of Parliament (MP) for Berwick-upon-Tweed, but the election was overturned on petition. At the resulting by-election, his wife Mabel stood as the Conservative candidate, and won the election. She held the seat until 1929.
At the 1923 general election, Hilton Philipson stood as a Conservative in the nearby Wansbeck constituency, but failed to unseat the sitting Labour MP. In 1929 he was defeated again in Gateshead, and did not stand for Parliament again.
