Stanley Stephen Awbery (19 July 1888 – 7 May 1969) was a British trade unionist and Labour Party politician who served as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Bristol Central from 1945 to 1964.
[2] He stood unsuccessfully as Labour Party candidate for the Clitheroe constituency at the 1931 and 1935 general elections.
He was selected to contest Bristol Central in 1937, although the anticipated general election was postponed due to the Second World War.
In the House of Commons, Awbery asked Oliver Lyttelton for information on photographs published by the Daily Worker (now Morning Star) depicting British soldiers during the Malayan Emergency posing with decapitated human heads.
Lyttelton responded to Awbery by confirming that the photographs were indeed genuine, and that previous government denials of their authenticity were wrong.
