Hilton Dawson MP Lancaster & WyreHilton Dawson MP
Lancaster & Wyre
Labour
In 1997 Hilton Dawson, with a majority of 1,295, became the first Labour MP for this seat since Stanley Henig in 1970. A pre-election promise to co-operate with the Greens over traffic and transport brought the tactical support necessary for this popular local man to cross the finishing line. An impromptu visit from Margaret Thatcher on May 26th that sparked off a near-riot in Market Square didn't hurt either.
