Wallace Lawler

Wallace Lawler

Wallace Leslie Lawler (15 March 1912 - 28 September 1972) was a British Liberal politician. He was elected a Member of Parliament (MP) by gaining Birmingham Ladywood from Labour at a by-election in 1969. However, Lawler only served for one year, as Labour's Doris Fisher regained the seat from him at the 1970 general election. He was the last Liberal to serve as a Member of Parliament in Birmingham until Liberal Democrat John Hemming won election to the Birmingham Yardley seat in 2005.
