List of New Zealand Labour Party MPs

Last updated

The following is a list of members of the New Zealand Labour Party who have served in the New Zealand House of Representatives . The New Zealand Labour Party was founded in 1916. Most members had been a part of the United Labour Party or Social Democratic Party.

Several MPs were associated with precursors to the New Zealand Labour Party but did not join it in 1916; John Payne and Bill Veitch. Both supported conscription in World War I unlike their colleagues. Veitch was part of the United Labour Party "Remnant" with Alfred Hindmarsh and Andrew Walker (See pre-1916 MPs). Two MPs were subsequently elected as Independent Labour candidates; Sydney Smith in 1918 & Edward Kellett in 1919, but never joined the party.
