1

Tom Steele (15 November 1905 – 28 May 1979) was a Scottish Labour politician. Steele worked as a station master and served on the board of the Lanark Co-operative Society. Steele was elected as Member of Parliament for the constituency of Lanark in 1945, defeating future Prime Minister Lord Dunglass (Alec Douglas-Home), and served as Parliamentary Secretary at the Ministry of National Insurance. He lost this seat back to Douglas-Home in 1950, but was elected for Dunbartonshire West at a by-election later that year. He held this seat until he retired in 1970, to be replaced by Ian Campbell. At elections his campaign sometimes used the slogan Vote Steele For Strength.
