BiographyMartin was educated at a grammar school before becoming the director of a sack company that was based in both Belfast and Manchester.[1] He was also a founder member of the Belfast Rotary Club.[1] PoliticsHe was elected Member of Parliament for Belfast Woodvale in a by-election in 1955 following Robert Harcourt's appointment to the Senate of Northern Ireland. He lost his seat in the 1958 general election when Northern Ireland Labour Party candidate Billy Boyd defeated him.[1] After his defeat Martin suggested that the close ties between the Ulster Unionist Party and the Conservative Party were counterproductive as they were driving some working-class people who would otherwise identify as Unionist away from the party.[2] References1. ^1 2 Biographies of Members of the Northern Ireland House of Commons {{s-start}}{{s-par|ni}}{{succession box2. ^Graham Walker, A History of the Ulster Unionist Party: Protest, Pragmatism and Pessimism, Manchester University Press, 2004, p. 139 | title = Member of Parliament for Belfast Woodvale | before = Robert Harcourt | after = Billy Boyd | years = 1955–1958}}{{s-end}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Martin, Neville}}{{Parliament-of-Northern-Ireland-member-stub}} 6 : 1916 births|1966 deaths|Members of the House of Commons of Northern Ireland 1953–58|People from Belfast|Ulster Unionist Party members of the House of Commons of Northern Ireland|Members of the House of Commons of Northern Ireland for Belfast constituencies |
