William Cuthbert

For the merchant and politician in Canada East, see William Cuthbert (Canadian politician).

William Nicolson Cuthbert (24 August 1890 – 7 May 1960)[1] was a Conservative Party politician in England.

He was elected at the 1945 general election as Member of Parliament (MP) for Rye,[2] and when that constituency was abolished for the 1950 general election, he was returned to the House of Commons for the new Arundel & Shoreham constituency.[3]

He resigned his seat on 15 January 1954, by the procedural device of accepting an appointment as Steward of the Chiltern Hundreds.
