Anthony Loton

Anthony Lloyd Loton (13 February 1904 – 14 May 1998) was an Australian politician who served as a Country Party member of the Legislative Council of Western Australia from 1944 to 1965.

His mother was a niece of Sir John Forrest, the first Premier of Western Australia, and his paternal grandfather, Sir William Loton, was a Mayor of Perth.

Prominent in agricultural circles, Loton was elected to parliament at a 1944 by-election for the Legislative Council's South-East Province, which had been caused by the death of Harold Piesse.

After the 1947 state election, he was made deputy chairman of committees.

In May 1954, the President of the Legislative Council, Sir Harold Seddon, lost his seat, and Loton was elected in his place.
