Reginald Berkeley (politician)

Reginald Berkeley (politician)

Reginald Cheyne Berkeley (1890 – 30 March 1935) was a Liberal Party politician in the United Kingdom.

He was elected as Member of Parliament (MP) for Nottingham Central at the 1922 general election, winning the seat with a majority of only 22 votes in a straight contest with the sitting Conservative MP Albert Atkey. He was re-elected in another two-way fight in 1923, but did not contest the 1924 general election. Labour fielded a candidate for the first time in Nottingham Central, and the Conservatives retook the seat.

He unsuccessfully contested the 1929 general election in Aberdeen North, and stood again in Nottingham Central at the by-election in 1930, where he won only 16.9% of the votes. He was defeated again in Aberdeen and Kincardine Central at the 1931 election, and died in March 1935, aged 44.
