George Sylvester

George Oscar Sylvester (14 September 1898 – 26 October 1961) was a Labour Party politician in England.

He was elected as Member of Parliament (MP) for Normanton in West Yorkshire at a by-election in 1947 following the resignation of the Labour MP Tom Smith.

At the 1950 general election, he was returned for the neighbouring Pontefract constituency, and held the seat until he died in office aged 63. At the 1962 Pontefract by-election held after his death, the seat was held for Labour by Joe Harper.
