John Hancock (UK politician)

John George Hancock (15 October 1857 – 19 July 1940) was a British Liberal Party politician who served as a Member of Parliament (MP) from 1909 to 1923.

He was elected as (MP) for Mid Derbyshire at a by-election in July 1909, and held the seat until the constituency was abolished for the 1918 general election. He was then returned unopposed for the new Belper constituency, and held the seat at the 1922 election against a Labour Party opponent. However, he was defeated at the 1923 general election by the Conservative Party candidate, Herbert Wragg. Aged 65, he did not stand for Parliament again.
