From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

John Taylor (22 July 19021 March 1962) was a British Labour Party politician who served as Member of Parliament for West Lothian.

He was first elected at the 1951 general election, and his death in 1962 at the age of 60 caused a hotly-contested by-election, in which William Wolfe of the Scottish National Party was beaten by Labour's Tam Dalyell.
