Arthur Stanley Wilson (30 July 1868 – 12 April 1938)[1] was a Conservative Party politician in England.
He was the son of the Hull-based shipowner and prominent local Liberal Arthur Wilson, who was best known nationally for hosting the party at his Tranby Croft home, which led to the royal baccarat scandal.
[1][2] He held the seat until his defeat at the 1922 general election by the Liberal candidate William Bowdler, after which he did not stand again.
[3] Wilson was not a frequent participant in Parliamentary debates, but Hansard records his first contribution in House of Commons debates as being a question in December 1900 asking the government "to provide for the safety of the public by framing regulations to ensure that all drivers of motor cars shall submit to a test and hold a certificate as competent drivers".
He had been conveying letters from the Eastern Mediterranean to London when the neutral Greek steamer, Spetzia, on which he was travelling from Piraeus to Messina in Italy, was intercepted by an Austrian submarine.
