Cecil Edward Gibbon

Cecil Edward Gibbon was an Anglo-Pakistani politician who served as the Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly of Pakistan from 1955 to 1958.[1][2][3]

Early life and education

Gibbon was born in 1906 in Allahabad, British India, to an Anglo-Indian family and received his education at St. Joseph's College, Nainital, and St. Edmund's College, Shillong.[1]

Career

Gibbon began his career in 1938 when he became the President of the All-India Anglo-Indian Association in Hyderabad.[1] He joined the Indian National Congress but had criticisms of its approach.[1][4]

In 1941, Gibbon worked in the Government of India's Food Department in Punjab and later became the president of the Anglo-Indian community's Punjab chapter.[1] In 1946, he was elected to the Punjab Legislative Assembly and served as the Parliamentary Secretary to Chief Minister Khizar Hayat Tiwana.[1]

In 1947, Gibbon supported the creation of Pakistan, resulting in his expulsion from the Congress and the Anglo-Indian Association.[1] He co-founded the Anglo-Pakistan Association and was one of the three Punjab Assembly legislators who voted for Pakistan's creation on 23 June 1947.[1][5]

Gibbon was a member of the first and second Punjab Assemblies and the National Assembly, participating in debates on various legislative matters.[1] He also served as the Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly of Pakistan and advocated for separate electorates for minorities, especially displaced Christian families.[1]
