About Dymoke White
Lived 1888 – 1968 (aged 79). Dymoke White was a British politician.
Sir Rudolph Dymoke White, 2nd Baronet, DL (11 June 1888 – 25 May 1968) was a Conservative Party politician in England who served as member of parliament (MP) for Fareham in Hampshire from 1939 to 1950.
He was elected unopposed at a by-election in 1939, after the sitting MP Thomas Inskip was elevated to peerage as Viscount Caldecote.
Fareham had been a safe Conservative seat since the constituency was established in 1885, with a Conservative returned unopposed as recently as 1931, and where contested elections had produced huge Conservative majorities (the Tories' 30% majority in 1939 was a lowpoint by Fareham standards). However at the 1945 general election, which the Labour Party won in a landslide, White's majority in Fareham was cut to only 5% of the votes.
