James Henry Hollins (1877 – 22 September 1954[1]) was a British trade unionist and politician.
Hollins, a supporter of the Social Democratic Federation, was branch secretary in Silvertown of the National Union of Gasworkers & General Labourers around 1914 and appears to have been an energetic organiser.
[4] Hollins came to prominence in 1940 when he was selected as Labour candidate to fill the seat of Silvertown on the resignation of the sitting MP, Jack Jones, who had held the seat since 1918.
[6] With the Second World War under way, Labour's candidature was not opposed by the other coalition parties.
Hollins remained as MP for Silvertown until the next general election, in 1945, which he did not contest.
