Stephen Walsh

Stephen Walsh (1859 – 16 March 1929) was a Labour Party MP and a member of David Lloyd George's Coalition Government as a Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of National Service in 1917 and then Parliamentary Secretary to the Local Government Board from 1917 to 1919.

He started work as a coal miner at the age of 14. He was an official of the Lancashire and Cheshire Miners' Federation before he was elected in 1906 for Ince.
