Williamson was born in St. Helens, Lancashire. His father was a glassblower, and Tom began his career working in the office of his father's union, the National Amalgamated Union of Labour.[1][2] He became a full-time union delegate, and in 1924, when it became part of the National Union of General and Municipal Workers (NUGMW), he was appointed as a district secretary. He became interested in politics at age 9, when his father took him to see Tom Mann speak. During the First World War, he served with the Royal Engineers.[1] He first foray into politics was serving on the Liverpool City Council from 1929–35. At the 1945 general election, he was elected as Member of Parliament (MP) for the Brigg constituency in Lincolnshire. He resigned his seat in 1948, and the resulting by-election was won by Labour's Lance Mallalieu.[1] In 1937, he became the industrial officer of NUGMW, and served as its General Secretary from 1946–61. He was also President of the Trades Union Congress from 1957 to 1958. He was a founding member of the British Productivity Council.[1] Williamson was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in 1950,[3] and was knighted in 1956.[4] Williamson was created a life peer on 15 May 1962, with the title Baron Williamson, of Ecccleston in the Borough of St. Helens in the County Palatine of Lancaster.[5] He died in a Cheshire nursing home in 1983, aged 85. He was survived by his wife, Hilda Hartley, whom he married in 1925. They had one daughter.[1] {{Infobox coat of arms wide| name = Lord Williamson | image = | imagesize = | notes = | year_adopted = | coronet = | crest = Out of a mural crown sable masoned argent a pelican proper supporting a caduceus[6] | torse = | helm = | escutcheon = Per saltire gules and sable three arms conjoined at the shoulder and flexed in a triangle each hand proper grasping a hammer or, over all a sun in splendour gold | supporters = On either side a secretary bird proper in their beaks a square buckle gules | compartment = | motto = Quantum sufficit ("A sufficient quantity") | orders = | other_elements = | bannerimage = | banner = | badgeimage = | badge = | symbolism = | previous_versions = }} References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 {{cite news |title=Obituary: Lord Williamson |work=The Times |publisher=The Times Digital Archive |page=14 |date=1 March 1983 }} 2. ^{{cite book |last1=Clegg |first1=H.
