George Alfred Spencer

George Alfred Spencer (1872 – 21 November 1957) was a miner and then a councillor on Nottinghamshire County Council from Stapleford, later Labour MP from 1918 to 1929 for Broxtowe.

Unhappy with the influence of the MFGB, he led a breakaway from the NMA and set up the Nottinghamshire and District Miners' Industrial Union (NMIU) based mostly in The Dukeries, which lasted for eleven years separate from the Miners' Federation of Great Britain.
