Ernest Armstrong

Ernest Armstrong, PC (12 January 1915 – 8 July 1996) was a British Labour Party politician.

Armstrong was educated at Wolsingham Grammar School and City of Leeds Teacher Training College, and ultimately became a headmaster. He served as a councillor on Sunderland Borough Council and chaired its education committee.

Defeated by the Conservative incumbent in Sunderland South in the 1959 General election, Armstrong was Member of Parliament for North West Durham from 1964 until his retirement in 1987. His daughter, Hilary Armstrong, was his successor.

Armstrong served as a parliamentary private secretary from 1965, and a Labour whip, and junior minister for Education and Science (1974–1975) and the Environment (1975–1979). After Labour lost the 1979 general election, he served as a Deputy Speaker.
