Albert Ernest Stubbs (1877-1962) was born in Yorkshire and was a printing machinist by trade. He came to Cambridge in March 1914. He became a full-time official of the Workers' Union in 1919 as District Officer for Cambridgeshire and the Isle of Ely and when it amalgamated with the Transport and General Workers' Union in 1929 he became Cambridge and District Officer. He served as Labour Member of Parliament for Cambridgeshire from 1945 to 1950. He is the only Labour MP ever elected in Cambridgeshire outside Cambridge itself. He was also a member of Cambridgeshire County Council from 1931 to his death and Cambridge Borough Council from 1923 to 1949. He was an alderman of both from 1942. He retired from the T&G in 1944. Stubbs died on 4 January 1962.
