Leslie Pym

Leslie Pym

Leslie Ruthven Pym (24 May 1884 – 17 July 1945) was a Conservative Party politician in the United Kingdom.

He was elected as Member of Parliament (MP) for Monmouth in Wales at a by-election in 1939. He represented the constituency in the House of Commons until his death during the 1945 general election. Polling took place on 5 July 1945. Pym died 12 days later, but nine days before the declaration of the result. He was declared posthumously elected on 26 July 1945, provoking a by-election in his Monmouth constituency. That contest was won by Peter Thorneycroft.

In the war-time coalition government, he was a government whip.

Pym is a descendant of the 17th century Parliamentarian John Pym. His son Francis (1922-2008) was later a Conservative MP and Cabinet minister.
