He was a major in World War I and was wounded, awarded the Military Cross and bar for his service.
He was elected as the Labour Member of Parliament (MP) for Leeds South East at a by-election in August 1929,[1] and served until 1951.
He became Chairman of Ways and Means and Deputy Speaker[2] and led the British Group of the Inter-Parliamentary Union.
The vote went along party lines – the first time the post had been contested in the 20th century – and Milner lost.
His remains are interred in the Garden of Remembrance at St John the Evangelist Church, Moor Allerton, Leeds.
