James Cassels (politician)
- James Cassels (politician)
James Dales Cassels (22 March 1877 – 7 February 1972) was a Conservative politician in the United Kingdom, and a Member of Parliament (MP) from 1922 to 1929, and from 1931 to 1935.
At the 1922 general election, he was elected as MP for the Leyton West constituency in East London, unseating Labour's Alfred Newbould by over 4,000 votes. Cassels narrowly held the seat at the 1923 general election, with majority of only 64 votes over Newbould, but at the 1924 general election he increased his majority to 3,403.
However, he was defeated at the 1929 general election by Labour's Reginald Sorensen, who represented the constituency (with one brief interruption) until 1965.
Cassels did not contest the Leyton seat again, but at the 1931 general election he was elected as MP for Camberwell North West, with a large majority. He did not seek re-election at the 1935 general election, when he was succeeded by the Conservative Oscar Guest.
