Sidney Streatfeild

Sidney Richard Streatfeild (27 June 1894 – 2 December 1966) was a Scottish Unionist Party politician descended from the historic Streatfeild family.

He served in the Great War 1914 - 1919 in the 2nd Battalion Durham Light Infantry.

At the 1924 general election he stood unsuccessfully as a Conservative Party candidate in the City of Durham constituency, but after the death in 1925 of Unionist MP Sir Arthur Henniker-Hughan, he won the Galloway seat at the resulting by-election in 1925.

However, at the 1929 general election, he lost the seat to Cecil Dudgeon, Henniker-Hughan's Liberal predecessor who had been the runner-up in the by-election.
