Cecil L'Estrange Malone

Cecil John L'Estrange Malone (7 September 1890 — 8 June 1965) was Britain's first communist member of the House of Commons.

In the 1918 UK general election, Malone joined the anti-communist Reconstruction Society and was elected as the Coalition Liberal MP for Leyton East, although he later claimed never to have actually joined the Liberal Party. He was also awarded the Order of the British Empire. By August 1919 he was advertising Pelman "memory" courses throughout the national press.
