Ernest Roberts (Conservative politician)

Sir Ernest Handforth Goodman Roberts (20 April 1890[1] – 14 February 1969)[2] was a Welsh barrister and Conservative Party politician who served as Member of Parliament (MP) for Flintshire from 1924 to 1929, before becoming the Chief Justice of the Rangoon High Court.

During the First World War, he was a captain in the Royal Welch Fusiliers and a court-martial officer in Palestine, for which he was mentioned in despatches.

At the 1924 general election, when the reappearance of a Labour Party candidate split created a 3-way contest, he won the seat by a comfortable majority of 12% of the votes.
