Roger Stott
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Roger Stott (August 7, 1943 – August 9, 1999) was a British Labour Party politician.
Stott was first elected to the House of Commons as Member of Parliament for Westhoughton at a by-election in 1973, following the death of the sitting Labour MP Tom Price. He held that seat at three subsequent general elections before the constituency was abolished for the 1983 general election.
He was then elected Member of Parliament for the Wigan constituency in Greater Manchester, and held that seat at the next three general elections. His death in office in 1999 made him the fourth Wigan MP in the twentieth century to die in office (the others being John Parkinson, Ronald Williams and William Foster).
Stott was a longtime joint chairman of the Council for the Advancement of Arab-British Understanding, and served as Parliamentary Private Secretary to James Callaghan during his administration. He later served as a junior opposition spokesman.
