Gerald William Reynolds (17 July 1927 – 7 June 1969) was a British Labour Party politician who was the Member of Parliament for Islington North from 1958 until his death.
[2] Reynolds began his political career on the Acton Borough Council, to which he was elected in 1949.
[2] He was elected as the Member of Parliament for the constituency of Islington North in a 1958 by-election following the early death of the sitting MP Wilfred Fienburgh, who was killed in a car crash at the age of 38.
[2] Reynolds died from cancer at a London hospital on 7 June 1969, at the age of 41.
[2][4] Few in parliament knew he was ill, and so his death came as a considerable shock; he had previously been considered a "rising star" in Westminster, and was being talked of as a potential future prime minister.
