List of members of Middlesex County Council 1937-1949.

The county council was made up of three quarters elected councillors and one quarter aldermen chosen by the council.

Elections of all county councillors were held with new boundaries in 1937. The number of councillors was increased from 75 to 80.

Half the aldermen (Group 1) were chosen by the council at the annual meeting following the election. Aldermen had a six year term of office. Elections of councillors were due to held in 1940 when the remaining aldermen would stand down and the council would choose their replacements.

With the outbreak of the Second World War emergency legislation was passed in 1939 which cancelled all elections and gave the councils the power to fill any vacancies by co-option. Elections did not resume until 1946.

Politics

The county council elections had originally been run on non-political grounds, although individual members might be supported by one or more local party organisations. From 1919 the Labour Party had been contesting and winning seats, effectively becoming the opposition to the incumbent administration. When Labour won control of the neighbouring London County Council in 1934 a Middlesex Municipal Alliance (MMA) was formed by the majority group to prevent them taking control in Middlesex. This included the Conservative Party and other Anti-Labour candidates.

On the eave of the 1937 the state of the parties was MMA (including Con) 44 councillors, 22 aldermen; Labour 22 councillors, 0 aldermen; Independents 8 councillors, 3 aldermen. There was one vacant council seat (Brentford West).

Following the 1937 election MMA (including Con) had 50 councillors and 22 aldermen, Labour had 21 councillors and 0 aldermen and Independents had 9 councillors and 3 aldermen.

The political labels of members of the majority grouping were not always consistent. Those used by the local newspapers in the areas concerned have been adopted in this list.

Aldermen

Group 1: 1937-49

Group 1 was elected in1937. The six-year term was due to end in 1943 but extended was until 1949 under wartime legislation.

The number of aldermen in Group 1 was 13. 12 outgoing aldermen sought re-election, Sir Cecil Fane De Salis choosing to retire, while Major Sir Patrick Bernard Malone was defeated. There was also one new seat in Group 2 to be filled. Thus there were only 3 new aldermen, all outgoing councillors.

All 14 aldermen chosen at the annual meeting on 11 March 1937 were members of the Conservative Party. Labour Party members marched out of the meeting in protest singing The Red Flag.

Members with an asterisk next to their name were re-elected.
