William John Tout

William John Tout (18701946) was Labour MP for Oldham, a two-member constituency.

He won it in 1922 and 1923, but lost his seat in 1924, possibly as a result of Labour standing two candidates. He stood unsuccessfully again at the Oldham by-election, 1925.

He then won Sowerby from the Unionists in 1929, but lost it in 1931.
