Roger White (politician)

Roger Lowrey White (1 June 1928 – 16 February 2000) was a British Conservative Party politician and company director.

At the general election in February 1974, which resulted in a hung parliament, White lost to the Labour candidate John Ovenden.

His father, George Frederick White was a former trooper in the Blues & Royals, Household Cavalry, who went on to become an Inspector in the Metropolitan Police and a Board of Trade official.

Thwarted on this front, he channelled his energy into political activity in the Young Conservatives at a local and national level.

His striking head of white hair proved an advantage in those cultures where seniority is revered.
