Cyril Raymond Bence (26 November 1902 – 7 September 1992) was a Welsh toolmaker, part-time lecturer and politician.
During the depression of the 1930s, he went into farming, but in 1938 he moved to Birmingham to go back into the skilled engineering trade.
For the 1951 general election, Bence was chosen as candidate by the Labour Party in East Dunbartonshire, a constituency in two parts which included some heavy industry on the north bank of the River Clyde.
Always on the back-benches, Bence served as a member of the Estimates Committee in the 1964-1966 Parliament, and was Parliamentary Private Secretary to Patrick Gordon Walker from 1964 and to Anthony Crosland from 1965 to 1967.
He played a key role in securing government subsidy for the building of the Queen Elizabeth 2 ocean liner.
