Henry Studholme

Sir Henry Gray Studholme, 1st Baronet CVO DL (13 June 1899 – 9 October 1987) was a British Conservative Party politician who was the MP for Tavistock from 1942 to 1966.

[1] Studholme was Member of Parliament (MP) for Tavistock from a 1942 by-election until his retirement in 1966, when he was succeeded by Michael Heseltine.

He served under Winston Churchill and then Anthony Eden as Vice-Chamberlain of the Household (i.e. a whip) from 1951 to 1956.

Michael Crick wrote that Studholme was a diligent constituency MP but an "appalling speaker", and he thus benefitted from serving as a whip, as they seldom speak during debates.
