Noel Ker Lindsay

Who is Noel Ker Lindsay?

Noel Ker Lindsay was a British barrister and Conservative Party politician.

Ker Lindsay attended Brasenose College, Oxford and became a member of the Bar. He served as an Army officer during the Second World War.

He was elected as the Member of Parliament for Bristol South in the Conservative landslide at the 1931 general election. He served until 1935 general election when the seat was taken by Labour. Since then, Bristol South has not elected a Conservative MP.

On 20 November 1934 he proposed the Queen's Speech in the House of Commons.

Ker Lindsay was made bankrupt in 1952, but was discharged from his bankruptcy on 11 September 1966. His name last appeared in the 1965 edition of Who's Who, but has not been included in any subsequent editions or in any edition of Who Was Who. His entry in "Who's Who of British MPs" by Stenton and Lees does not include the customary asterix against all living former MPs, all of which implies that he died in around 1966.
