Albert Braithwaite

Sir Albert Newby Braithwaite (2 September 1893 – 20 October 1959) was a British Conservative Party politician.

He was elected as Member of Parliament for the Buckrose constituency in East Yorkshire at a by-election in 1926, following the resignation of the Conservative MP Guy Gaunt. He held the seat until the 1945 general election, when the Labour Party did not contest the seat and he was defeated by the Liberal Party candidate George Wadsworth.

Braithwaite returned to the House of Commons at a by-election in 1951, as MP for Harrow West, succeeding the Conservative Norman Bower, who had resigned. He held the seat until his death by suicide in 1959.
