Arthur Frederick Holt (8 August 1914 – 23 August 1995) was a Liberal Party politician in the United Kingdom, and Member of Parliament for thirteen years.
Holt was first elected at the 1951 general election, when he defeated the only other candidate, sitting Labour MP John Lewis. Holt was re-elected in straight contests with Labour at two further general elections, but his share of the vote was halved when the Conservative Party fielded a candidate at the 1964 general elections, and the seat was won by Labour's Gordon Oakes.[1]
