abstract	Marcus Lipton CBE (29 October 1900 – 22 February 1978) was a British Labour Party politician. The son of Benjamin and Mary Lipton of Sunderland, he was educated at Hudson Road Council School and Bede Grammar School in the town, before winning a scholarship to Merton College, Oxford in 1919.[1][2][3] He was supported by a Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths exhibition bursary. He graduated with a Second in Modern History in 1922 and then studied law and was called to the bar at Gray's Inn in 1926. Lipton first entered politics in 1928 when he contested the London County Council elections as Liberal Party candidate for the Stepney division of Mile End. In 1934 he was elected to Stepney Borough Council. He became an alderman of Lambeth Metropolitan Borough Council in 1937 serving until 1959. Shortly before the outbreak of the Second World War, Lipton enlisted as a private in a Territorial Army unit of the Royal Army Pay Corps. He was commissioned as an officer in the Army Educational Corps in 1941, rising to Lieutenant-Colonel by the end of the conflict in 1945. He was elected as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Brixton in the 1945 general election, defeating the sitting Conservative Party MP Nigel Colman. He retained the seat at each subsequent election until it was abolished at the February 1974 general election. He was subsequently elected as MP for the successor seat of Lambeth Central, remaining in the Commons until his death.
