William Cove

William George Cove (21 May 1888 – 15 March 1963) was a British politician.

He served as a Labour Party Member of Parliament (MP) from 1923 to 1959.

His father, a miner, was born in Berkeley in Gloucestershire and was among the thousands from the west of England who migrated to the Rhondda Valleys at the end of the nineteenth century to seek work in the rapidly expanding coal industry.

In the 1929 general election, Cove left Wellingborough to become MP for the Welsh constituency of Aberavon, where the Labour Leader Ramsay MacDonald had stood down to stand for the County Durham seat of Seaham.

Cove has been neglected by historians and he does not feature in the Dictionary of Welsh Biography.
