Norman Hogg (Labour politician)
Norman Hogg (November 1907 – 1974 or 1975) was a Scottish Labour Party politician.
Hogg worked as a baker and joined the Scottish Union of Bakers and Allied Workers, later becoming its full-time North of Scotland organiser, then winning promotion to become national organiser. At the 1950 UK general election, the union sponsored him as a Labour Party candidate in South Angus. He took second place, with a quarter of the vote. He stood in West Aberdeenshire at the 1951 UK general election, again taking second place.[1][2][3]
Hogg served on Aberdeen City Council for 21 years, and was Lord Provost of Aberdeen from 1964 to 1967. He was made a Commander of the Order of the British Empire.[4]
Hogg's son, also Norman Hogg, became a Labour Party Member of Parliament.
