Samuel Finburgh

Samuel Finburgh was Conservative MP for Salford North.

He contested the seat in 1922 and 1923, won it in 1924, but stood down in 1929.

Finsburgh was Jewish. During his time in Parliament, in 1925, he challenged the Home Secretary William Joynson-Hicks about his treatment of the Jewish community, alleging that Jewish applicants for naturalisation were facing undue obstacles. [1]
