Geoffrey Clifton-Brown (Bury St Edmunds MP)

Geoffrey Benedict Clifton-Brown (25 July 1899 – 17 November 1983)[1] was a Conservative Party politician in England.

His father, one-time High Sheriff of Buckinghamshire Edward Clifton-Brown,[2] was a son of James Clifton Brown MP.[3] He was schooled at Eton College, and during World War II, he fought with the 12th Lancers, attaining the rank of lieutenant-colonel.[4]

He was elected at the 1945 general election as Member of Parliament (MP) for Bury St Edmunds,[5] and held the seat until the 1950 general election, when he did not seek re-election and was succeeded by Conservative William Aitken.

He had three children, and his grandson, also Geoffrey Clifton-Brown, followed him into the House of Commons.[6]
