About Alistair Macdonald

Lived 1925 – 1999 (aged 73). Alistair Macdonald was a British politician.

Alistair Huistean Macdonald (18 May 1925 – 6 February 1999) was a British Labour Party politician.

Macdonald was educated at Dulwich College, Enfield Technical College and Corpus Christi College, Cambridge. He was a bank clerk and area treasurer of the National Union of Bank Employees. He served as a councillor on Chislehurst and Sidcup Urban District Council (1958–62) and as an alderman on the newly formed London Borough of Bromley from 1964.
