Sir Gerald David Nunes Nabarro (29 June 1913 – 18 November 1973) was a British businessman and Conservative Party politician who was an MP from 1950 until his death.

[4] Nabarro served among many positions outside industry and parliament, including as: a Governor of the University of Birmingham and Convocation Member at Aston University; President of the Road Passenger and Transport Association 1951–55; the Merseyside area of the National Union of Manufacturers 1956–62; the London branch of the Institute of Marketing 1968–70; and the British Direct Mail Marketing Association 1968–72.

When Anthony Wedgwood-Benn, a Labour MP, sought to do that when forced to vacate his seat at the death of his father, Viscount Stansgate, in 1960, Nabarro was his chief Conservative supporter in the Commons, and the two sponsored the Peerage Act 1963.

Subsequently, the act enabled Wedgwood-Benn to re-enter the Commons, and the Earl of Home to do the same when he became Prime Minister in the same year as Sir Alec Douglas-Home.

Nabarro characterised himself as an old-style Tory: he opposed the European Economic Community project, as well as drugs, pop music, and pornography, and was critical of students.

Even five years earlier, on 5 April 1963, while appearing on Any Questions?, Nabarro asked, "How would you feel if your daughter wanted to marry a big buck nigger with the prospect of coffee-coloured grandchildren?

[13] Despite humble beginnings, Nabarro had the style of a conservative toff, sporting a Jimmy Edwards-style handlebar moustache, a booming baritone voice, and a Terry-Thomas accent.

He enjoyed driving, and owned the personalised number plates NAB 1 to 8, which he attached to his large garage of cars, including three Daimlers.

[5] On the night of 21 May 1971, Nabarro's car, a Daimler Sovereign bearing the number plate NAB 1,[14] was seen to swerve at speed the wrong way round a roundabout at Totton, Hampshire.

[15] A few months later, having recently announced a decision to retire from the Commons on grounds of health, he died at his home, Orchard House, in Broadway, Worcestershire on 18 November 1973, aged 60.
