Malcolm McCorquodale, 1st Baron McCorquodale

Malcolm McCorquodale, 1st Baron McCorquodale

Malcolm Stewart McCorquodale, 1st Baron McCorquodale PC (29 March 1901 – 25 September 1971) was a British Conservative Party politician.

At the 1931 general election, he was elected as Member of Parliament for Sowerby. He held the seat at the 1935 election, but in the Labour Party landslide at the 1945 general election he lost his seat to Labour's John Belcher. In the same year, he was appointed as a Privy Councillor.

McCorquodale returned to the Parliament in 1947, at a by-election in Epsom, following the resignation of Conservative MP Sir Archibald Southby. He retired from House of Commons at the 1955 general election and in September 1955 he was elevated to the peerage as Baron McCorquodale. The title became extinct on his death in 1971.
