Harry George Lamborn (1 May 1915 – 21 August 1982) was a British Labour Party politician. He was a councillor from 1953, then a Member of Parliament (MP) from 1972 until his death in 1982.
Lamborn was born in Dulwich.[1] He was a member of Camberwell Borough Council from 1953 to 1965, including being mayor in 1963/4. He represented the Dulwich constituency on the London County Council between 1958 and 1965.[1] Lamborn was elected in 1964 to the LCC's successor body, the Greater London Council, for the constituency of Southwark, and was re-elected in 1967 and 1970. He was Deputy Chairman of the GLC from 1971 to 1972.[1]
After Ray Gunter resigned from the House of Commons, Lamborn was elected at a by-election in May 1972 for the constituency of Southwark.[1] After his constituency was eliminated in boundary changes, he ran in the newly configured Peckham and was comfortably re-elected in the February 1974 general election, at which the Labour Party returned to office, albeit without a majority.[1] He was Parliamentary Private Secretary (PPS) to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Denis Healey, from 1974 to 1979.[1]
At the general election of 1979 the Labour Government was defeated, and a Conservative Party Government was elected under Margaret Thatcher. Lamborn was comfortably re-elected but with a reduced majority.[1] Afterward, he announced he would not contend the next general election on health grounds.[1]
Lamborn married Lilian Ruth Smith in 1938, and they had three children.[1] He died at a hospital in Eastbourne on 21 August 1982,[2] and was succeeded as MP for Peckham by Harriet Harman in a by-election later that year.
His name is memorialized in that of Harry Lamborn House, a block of sheltered flats for the elderly built by Southwark Council[3] on Gervase Street, off the Old Kent Road in Peckham.
