Who was Victor Goodhew?

Sir Victor Henry Goodhew was a British politician. He was Conservative Member of Parliament for St Albans for 24 years, from 1959 to 1983, and was an early member of the Conservative Monday Club. Although he held right-wing views — he supported hanging, supported Enoch Powell's views on immigration, and supported closer links with the white regimes in Rhodesia and South Africa — he served as a government whip under Ted Heath in the early 1970s. His later career was blighted by ill health.
