Maurice Hely-Hutchinson

Maurice Robert Hely-Hutchinson (22 May 1887 – 11 February 1961)^[1] was a Conservative Party politician in England.

He was elected as Member of Parliament (MP) for Hastings in East Sussex at a by-election in 1937. He held the seat until the 1945 general election, when he stood down from Parliament. During The Great Depression Hely-Hutchinson caused some controversy when he remarked that the long-term unemployed should lose the right to vote. ^[2]
