Ernest Roberts (Conservative politician)
Ernest Handforth Goodman Roberts (20 April 1890 – 14 February 1969)[1] was a Welsh Conservative Party politician who served as Member of Parliament (MP) for Flintshire from 1924 to 1929.
He first stood for election to the House of Commons at the 1923 general election, when he failed to unseat the sitting Liberal MP Thomas Henry Parry. At the 1924 general election, when the reappearance of a Labour Party candidate split created a 3-way contest, he won the seat by a comfortable majority of 12% of the votes. He was defeated at the 1929 general election, and did not stand for Parliament again.[2]
