Liverpool Scotland

Liverpool Scotland was characterized by having two MPs of exceptionally long service. T.P. O'Connor served in the constituency for 44 years until his death in 1929, becoming Father of the House in 1918. It was the only constituency outside the island of Ireland ever to return an Irish Nationalist Party MP, and O'Connor continued to be re-elected in Liverpool under this label unopposed, despite the Irish Free State achieving Dominion status in 1922. He was succeeded by the winner of the by-election, David Logan, who served for a further 35 years until his own death in 1964; Logan was never Father of the House, but he was its oldest sitting member from 1950 until his death. == Boundaries ==
