For other people named George Walker, see George Walker (disambiguation).

George Henry Walker (1874 – 24 January 1954)[1] was a British Labour Party politician. He was Member of Parliament (MP) for Rossendale from 1945 to 1950.

Walker unsuccessfully contested Blackburn at the 1935 general election.[2] He was elected at the 1945 general election as MP for Rossendale,[3] at the age of 70, becoming one of only a handful of first-time MPs in their seventies. There is some possibility that he was the oldest ever first-time MP elected at a general election, but there is some uncertainty about his exact date of birth and that of a few other elderly MPs.

Walker did not stand again at the 1950 general election, when the Rossendale seat was held for Labour by Anthony Greenwood .[4]
