Russell Kerr

Russell Whiston Kerr (1 February 1921 - 15 November 1983) was a British Labour Party politician.

Kerr was educated at the Shore School, Sydney, Sydney Church of England Grammar School and Sydney University. He served with the Pathfinder Force of the Royal Air Force during World War II. He became a director of the Town and Country Planning Association and an air charter executive. He was a national executive member of the Association of Supervisory Staff, Executives and Technicians from 1964.

Kerr contested Horsham in 1951, Merton and Morden in 1959 and Preston North in 1964.

He was Member of Parliament for Feltham from 1966 to 1974, and for Feltham and Heston from 1974 to 1983. He lost his seat in that year's landslide defeat for Labour, to the Conservative Patrick Ground.

In 1960 Kerr married Anne Kerr, Member of Parliament for Rochester and Chatham from 1964 to 1970. He was found dead in his car in Twickenham, believed to have suffered a stroke.
