The Keighley News, Saturday 5th May 1900

Sam Hughes was Conservative M.P. for Victoria County in the Canadian Parliament, and served in the war.

Because of his active service, William Allen (Newcasle-under-Lyme) lost his seat in the 1900 General Election.

Any other active service M.P.s in Canada, or Australia, New Zealand, South Africa?

Very interesting. I note that the majority of men were Tories.

The Liberal Party was split in its support for the war.

"Liberal M.P. David Lloyd George . . . made his name in opposition, as he alleged that Joseph Chamberlain, his brother, and his son had large personal financial investments in a number of munitions firms that were making heavy profits in the war."

With most of my books and journals in storage right now I cannot give you a reference but I know there is an article in one of the OMRS journals listing all the Members of Parliament and their staff that served......
