Arthur Davidson

Arthur Davidson, QC (7 November 1926 – 16 January 2018) was a British Labour Party politician.

Early life Davidson was born in Liverpool to Abraham Davidson, a carpet manufacturer who had left Russia as a child, and his wife Rose (née Speiler). and worked at Express Newspapers. His final job was as the lawyer for the magazine Time Out in London.

He enjoyed jazz, and was a passionate supporter of Liverpool Football Club. Davidson died in January 2018, at the age of 91 (although many press reports erroneously stated he was 89, due to the fact that he had, as his Guardian obituary noted, taken "two years off his age when he was 40, just after reaching Westminster").
