Gordon Lang
Rev. Gordon Lang (25 February 1893 – 20 June 1981) was a Welsh Congregationalist minister and Labour Party politician.〔 He was Member of Parliament (MP) for Oldham from 1929 to 1931, and for Stalybridge and Hyde from 1945 to 1951.
Lang was born in Monmouth, and attended the town's grammar school and Cheshunt College. He combined his pastoral work with political activity including being honorary secretary of the United Europe Movement and a leading member of the Proportional Representation Society.
==MP for Oldham==
In 1929 he was nominated as one of two Labour candidates for the two-seat Oldham constituency along with James Wilson. The election saw a large swing to the party, and Lang and Wilson were elected, unseating the two sitting members (one Conservative and one Liberal.)
Following the collapse of the second Labour Government and the formation of a National Government, a further general election was held in 1931. Lang and Wilson defended their seats against two government candidates, but were heavily defeated. Lang stood at Oldham again at the next general election in 1935, but failed to regain the seat for Labour.
