Wadsworth and Son, Ltd. He served as a member of Halifax Borough Council. At the 1945 general election, Wadsworth was elected Member of Parliament for the East Riding of Yorkshire constituency of Buckrose. He won from the Conservatives by a majority of 949 votes, benefiting from the absence of a Labour candidate. In the House of Commons, he served on the Public Accounts Select Committee and was a member of parliamentary delegations to Hungary, Switzerland, Italy and Germany. At the 1950 election, following boundary changes, Wadsworth contested the re-drawn seat of Bridlington. This time he had a Labour opponent as well as a Conservative. The Conservative comfortably won the seat. Wadsworth contested the Sheffield Hillsborough constituency in the 1951 general election as a Conservative / National Liberal candidate but failed to take the seat from Labour, being defeated 28,274 votes to 19,617. ==References== * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「George Wadsworth (politician)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
