Cyril Entwistle
Major Sir Cyril Fullard Entwistle, MC, QC (23 September 1887 – 9 July 1974)[1] was a Liberal Party politician in the United Kingdom. He later defected to the Conservative Party. He was a Member of Parliament (MP) from 1918 to 1924 and from 1931 to 1945.
At the 1918 general election, he was elected as Liberal MP for Hull South West,[2] and held the seat until he was defeated at the 1924 general election.[2][3] He then devoted himself to the law and business and after joining the Conservatives in 1926 he unsuccessfully contested Bolton at the 1929 general election.[4] He won the seat as a Tory in 1931, and held it until his defeat in the Labour Party landslide at the 1945 election.[1][4]
He was knighted in 1937, "for political and public services".[5]
