Stratton Mills

Stratton Mills

William Stratton Mills, known as Stratton Mills (born 1 July 1932), was a politician in Northern Ireland. He is the only Member of Parliament (MP) to have sat for the Alliance Party of Northern Ireland in the British House of Commons to date.

A solicitor by trade, Mills was elected as the Ulster Unionist Party (UUP) MP for Belfast North in the 1959 UK general election. He held his seat in subsequent elections, but in 1972 he refused to join the other UUP MPs in resigning the Conservative Party whip. In doing so, he effectively left the UUP, and was regarded solely as a Conservative MP.

In 1973, Mills joined the Alliance Party of Northern Ireland. [ [http://www.ark.ac.uk/elections/dnb.htm North Belfast 1950-1970 election results at ARK] ] He retired from the House in 1974.
