In 1950 Howarth joined the Labour Party. He served on the National Executive Committee of his Union from 1954 to 1960, and was elected to Wembley Borough Council from 1953 to 1956 and 1957 to 1960. He was a Justice of the Peace for the Gore Division of Middlesex from 1957. At the 1964 general election, Howarth was narrowly elected as Labour MP for Wellingborough in Northamptonshire. In Parliament he was interested in transport, local government and Home Office matters. He was re-elected in the 1966 election with his majority increased to 2,233, but died at Rickmansworth, in post in August 1969. ==References== *M. Stenton and S.
