Hugh Hartley Lawrie

Hugh Hartley Lawrie (born 1879) was a British trade unionist and politician.

Born in Rochdale, Lawrie was educated locally before working at a local cotton mill, then later finding work on the staff of a newspaper in Manchester. He became active in the Workers' Union and was appointed as a union official in 1910, remaining in post when the union became part of the Transport and General Workers' Union. He also became active in the Labour Party, and was elected in Stalybridge and Hyde at the 1929 general election.

Lawrie was a support of the Prime Minister, Ramsay Macdonald, and followed Macdonald in leaving the Labour Party to join the new National Labour Organisation. However, he decided not to contest the 1931 general election.
