Clyde Tabor Wilson
Clyde Tabor Wilson (21 September 1889 – 13 November 1971)[1] [2] was a British Conservative Party politician.
Born in Birkenhead on Merseyside, he moved to London to study law and was called to the bar at the Inner Temple in 1913.[1]
From 1925-35 he sat as a Municipal Reform Party councillor representing Wandsworth Central on the London County Council. The Municipal Reformers were allied to the parliamentary Conservatives.[3]
At the 1931 general election, he was elected Member of Parliament (MP) for Liverpool West Toxteth, winning the seat with a large majority over the sitting Labour Party MP, Joseph Gibbins. This was Wilson's second attempt to enter Parliament — he had unsuccessfully contested the 1929 general election in the Labour-held London constituency of Lambeth North. In 1934 he was appointed Recorder of Birkenhread.[1] He served less than four years in the House of Commons, resigning his seat in 1935 to become a Metropolitan Police magistrate. At the resulting by-election in July 1935, Gibbins regained the seat.[4]
Wilson retired from his post as magistrate in 1962.[1] [5] He died at his home in Eastbourne in 1971, aged 82.[6]
