George Machin (30 December 1922 – 5 December 1989) was a British Labour Party politician, engineering inspector and shop steward. Machin was a native of Sheffield and attended Marlcliffe School there. During the World War II he served in the RAF. After the war ended, he became an engineering inspector and active in the trade union movement. In 1967, he was elected to Sheffield City Council. At a March 1973 by-election, he was elected as the Member of Parliament for Dundee East, holding off by 1,141 votes a strong challenge from Gordon Wilson of the Scottish National Party.[1] However, at the February 1974 general election, Wilson gained the seat by 2,966 votes, thus ending Machin's tenure as an MP of just 11 months. Machin attempted unsuccessfully to regain his seat at the subsequent October 1974 general election but then retired from politics afterwards. {{Citation needed|date=February 2013}} See alsoList of United Kingdom MPs with the shortest serviceReferences1. ^{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=NeI9AAAAIBAJ&sjid=VkgMAAAAIBAJ&pg=5282%2C228023 |title=Taverne Landslide.
