Commander Robert Tatton Bower (9 June 1894 – 5 July 1975)[1] was a Royal Navy officer and a Conservative Party politician in the United Kingdom.

Bower was the only son- with two sisters- of Major Sir Robert Lister Bower, KBE, CMG, of The West House, Thirsk, Yorkshire, Chief Constable of the North Riding of Yorkshire, late of the 60th Rifles, and sometime of the 7th Battalion, King's Royal Rifle Corps, and Annette Norah, daughter of Henry Haswell Head, MD, of Thornhill, Bray, County Wicklow, Ireland.

[5] On 4 April 1938, Bower was involved in a House of Commons incident when he interrupted Jewish Labour MP Emanuel Shinwell, telling him to "go back to Poland".

[7] The context of this violent confrontation was a series of questions being put by Labour MPs to the Foreign Office minister R.A. Butler, challenging the government's apparent recognition of the Duke of Alba as a diplomatic representative of General Franco's nationalist forces, who were then in the midst of a civil war against Spain's Republican government.

Shinwell had described Butler's answers as "humbug" and "hypocrisy" and was being reprimanded by the Speaker for unparliamentary language at the moment Bower made his own intervention.
