- Robert Morrison, 1st Baron Morrison
Robert Craigmyle Morrison, 1st Baron Morrison (1881-1953) was a British Labour Co-operative politician.
At the 1922 general election, he was elected as Member of Parliament for Tottenham North. He lost his seat at the 1931 general election to the Conservative Edward Doran, but was re-elected at the 1935 general election.
In November 1945, shortly after he had been re-elected at the 1945 general election, he was ennobled as Baron Morrison. The following year, he was appointed as a member of the Anglo-American Committee of Inquiry which sought a policy to resolve the growing conflict between Jews and Arabs in Palestine. The committee unanimously recommended a binational state in Palestine.
