Who was Jarrow's MP?

Who was Jarrow's MP?

• A. Ellen Wilkinson
• B. Ramsay MacDonald
• C. Neville Chamberlain
• D. Clement Attlee

Answer: (A)

This question tests your knowledge of who held the Jarrow parliamentary seat during the period of the Jarrow March. Ellen Wilkinson was the Labour MP for Jarrow and became a leading advocate for relief for unemployed workers, organising the Jarrow March in 1936 to press for jobs and aid. Because the question asks who represented Jarrow, Wilkinson is the correct answer. The other figures were prominent national politicians who did not represent Jarrow in Parliament, so they don’t fit the question’s focus on the local MP.
