Robert Forgan

Robert Forgan (10 March 1891 – 8 January 1976[1]) was a British politician who was a close associate of Oswald Mosley.

[2] He served as a public health officer in Glasgow and in that capacity adopted socialism because of the city's poor conditions.

An early triumph saw him secure the installation of a ventilation system into the House of Commons, but he afterward became a fairly marginal figure.

[4] The administrative role did not prove suitable, and soon, he became an important background figure who arranged private functions with leading businessmen in an attempt to secure support for Mosley and organised the January Club to this end.

[4] Robert Skidelsky has argued that Forgan's conversion to fascism had always been at best half-hearted and had more to do with his personal loyalty to Mosley, which had largely disappeared.
