Charles Richard Morris PC (14 December 1926 – 8 January 2012) was a British politician who served as Member of Parliament (MP) for Manchester Openshaw from 1963 to 1983.
His father, who was significantly disabled as result of his World War I injuries, worked as a sign writer; he died at the age of 44, when Charles was nine years old.
Morris lived in poverty alongside seven other siblings, all of whom faced a workhouse when their home was marked for slum clearance in 1935.
Morris served as Deputy Chief Whip and Treasurer of the Household from 1969 until Labour's election defeat in 1970.
His brother, Alf, served as Labour MP for Manchester Wythenshawe from 1964 until 1997, when he was appointed to the House of Lords.
