William Lunn (politician)
William Lunn (1 November 1872 – 17 May 1942) was a Labour Party politician in the United Kingdom.
He was elected at the 1918 general election as Member of Parliament (MP) for the newly-created Rothwell constituency in West Yorkshire, and held the seat until he died in office in 1942, aged 69.
In 1924, Lunn served in Ramsay MacDonald's short-lived First Labour Government as Secretary for Overseas Trade, a junior ministerial post subordinate to the President of the Board of Trade.
When the Second Labour Government took office in June 1929, Lunn was appointed as Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies. He was moved in December that year to the post of Under-Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs, and held that position until the formation of the National Government in August 1931.
