Peter Jackson (politician)

Peter Michael Jackson (14 October 1928 – 19 February 2020) was a British Labour Party politician.

Jackson was born in Sheffield in October 1928, and was educated at Sheffield Grammar School, Durham University, and University College, Leicester.

At the 1966 general election, he was elected as the Member of Parliament for the High Peak constituency in Derbyshire, ending nearly 56 years of Conservative dominance and was the first ever Labour Party MP for the seat.

Jackson sat in the House of Commons for only four years, and lost his seat at the 1970 general election, to the Conservative Spencer Le Marchant.
