Borras Noel Hamilton Whiteside (12 December 1903 – 13 June 1948) was a British company director and politician, who served a single term as a Conservative Member of Parliament (MP).
After leaving university he went into the insurance business and in 1925 was made West End Local Director of the London and Scottish Assurance Company.
[4] However, on polling day Leeds South was part of the landslide result, with Whiteside winning a majority of 725 over Charleton and Boult coming a poor third.
He opposed a Labour suggestion that civil aviation be transferred to the League of Nations and called for lower costs for compulsory government inspection of aircraft and for local authorities to build airfields closer to centres of population.
[6] With the rise to prominence of the British Union of Fascists and its 'Blackshirts', Whiteside urged in January 1934 that no political body be allowed to wear a uniform because doing so would be liable to lead to breaches of the peace.
[10] During the debate on the 1934 Air Estimates, Whiteside spoke of Stanley Baldwin's remark the previous year that "the bomber will always get through" and rhetorically asked what was the point of such a large expenditure on the RAF if it could not defend Britain.
[15] That November, a new general election required him to defend his seat against Henry Charleton, who attempted to regain it for the Labour Party.
[2] At the end of the war, Whiteside was adopted as Conservative candidate for the newly created division of Wembley South.
