Reverend Sir Herbert Dunnico (2 December 1875 – 2 October 1953)[1] was a British Baptist minister, leading Freemason and Labour Party politician.
Born in Wales, he started work in a factory aged ten, but studied in his spare time and won a scholarship to University College Nottingham.
The vote was on the First Labour Government's programme of building light cruisers, to which Dunnico (a former secretary of the Peace Society[5][6]) objected because he feared the start of an arms race, and because believed that the Parliamentary Labour Party had not been properly consulted.
[7][8] At the 1931 general election, he was defeated in Consett by the Liberal National candidate John Dickie.
[11] From 1947-53, Rev Dunnico was president of the Essex County Football Association.
