Allan Rogers

Allan Ralph Rogers (24 October 1932 – 28 November 2023) was a British Labour Party politician.

[5][6] He had a scholarship to Selwyn College, Cambridge, but was unable to take it up when his national service deferment papers were 'mislaid'.

He performed his national service with the Royal Welch Fusiliers, and studied geology at Swansea University.

[5] Later, alongside fellow WEA tutor organiser, Neil Kinnock, he introduced adult education classes for the workers at Switchgear.

[6] The Guardian reported that in the 1997 election he was being offered a peerage, in a similar fashion to fellow Welsh Labour MP Ray Powell, in return for a younger candidate taking his seat, as it is one of Labour's safest, an offer which he allegedly rejected.
