| Info | Sir Hugh Charles Patrick Joseph Fraser PC was a British Conservative politician and first husband of Lady Antonia Fraser. He was a younger son of the 14th Lord Lovat and a prominent Roman Catholic.
Fraser was elected Member of Parliament for Stone in 1945, later Stafford and Stone following constituency boundary changes, from 1950 until 1983, and then Stafford again until his death. He served as an MP continuously from 1945 until 1984 but did not become Father of the House as he was sworn in as an MP on August 15, 1945 while James Callaghan had been sworn in on August 2, 1945 and so he, rather than Fraser, became Father following the 1983 election. He was Parliamentary Private Secretary to Oliver Lyttelton (1951-54), a junior minister in the War Office (1958-60) and Colonial Office (1960-62), and Secretary of State for Air (1962-64). He was an unsuccessful candidate in the Conservative Party's 1975 leadership election, gaining 16 votes in the first round challenging incumbent Edward Heath.
