Sidney Streatfeild
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sidney Richard Streatfeild (27 June 1894 – 2 December 1966) was a Scottish Unionist Party politician. At the 1924 general election he stood unsuccessfully as a Conservative Party candidate in the City of Durham constituency, but after the death in 1925 of Unionist MP Sir Arthur Henniker-Hughan, he won the resulting by-election.
However, at the 1929 general election, he lost the seat to Cecil Dudgeon, Henniker-Hughan's Liberal predecessor who had been the runner-up in the by-election.
Streatfeild did not stand for Parliament again.
