Ernest Rogers Millington DFC (15 February 1916 – 9 May 2009)[1] was a British Common Wealth and later Labour Member of Parliament (MP).
The vacancy was created by the death of the previous Conservative member, Colonel John Macnamara, killed on active service in Italy.
Many years later he fondly recalled being reprimanded by a Conservative MP who bemoaned the fact that Millington's ribbon was being incorrectly worn.
Millington told the BBC, "I was approached by a Tory MP dressed in civilian clothes and with a hand in his trouser pocket.
We want – that is, the people who served in Bomber Command of the Royal Air Force and their next of kin – a categorical assurance that the work we did was militarily and strategically justified.Millington held his seat in the 1945 general election and joined the Labour Party in April 1946.
