- Robert Davies (politician)
Robert Malcolm Deryck Davies (7 May 1918 – 16 June 1967) was a British Labour Party politician.
At the 1966 general election, he was elected Member of Parliament for Cambridge, winning the seat from the Conservatives after the retirement of Hamilton Kerr. He died in office the following year, aged 49, and the resulting by-election for his seat was won by the Conservative candidate, David Lane.
Descended from a Welsh farming family, his grandfather, Jenkin Davies (1824-1893), was a leading Berkshire agriculturalist and County Councillor. The Davies Family History Website [http://www.clan-davies.org/phpGedView/individual.php?pid=I211] has details of his pedigree.
