George Turner (born 9 August 1940) is a Labour Party politician in the United Kingdom.

Early life

He went to Laxton Grammar School (now part of Oundle School) on North Street in Oundle. At Imperial College London he gained a BSc in Physics, then obtained a PhD in Physics from Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge. He then became Head of the Electrical Engineering Department at the University of East Anglia.

Parliamentary career

Turner contested North West Norfolk in 1992, but failed to be elected. He was returned as the Member of Parliament (MP) for the constituency in 1997, but lost his seat back to Henry Bellingham of the Conservatives – whom he had first defeated – in 2001.

In the House of Lords on 25 April 2012 it was asserted by Turner (Col 1786), "Lord Lexden: My Lords, would my noble friend think of reminding Mr Henry Bellingham that he has already experienced the Perceval family's taste for revenge, having been deprived of his Commons seat at the 1997 election by a direct descendant of the assassinated Prime Minister?".

Personal life

He married Lesley Duggan. They have two daughters, a stepson and a stepdaughter.
