Frederick Corfield

The Right Honourable Sir Frederick Vernon Corfield (b. 1 June 1915) is British Conservative politician and was formerly a minister.

Corfield came from an army family and joined the Royal Artillery in 1935. During World War II he served first with the British Expeditionary Force and then with the 51st Highland Division but he was captured by German forces in 1940 and spent the remainder of the war in an internment camp. On his return to England he qualified as a lawyer and became MP for South Gloucestershire in 1955. Under Harold Macmillan and Alec Douglas-Home he held the position of Joint Parliamentary Secretary of Housing and Local Government (1962-4).

In 1970 Corfield was briefly Minister of State at the newly formed Department of Trade and Industry under John Davies . He subsequently held the positions of Minister for Aviation Supply and Aerospace Minister (1970-2) where he was responsible for the cancellation of the Black Arrow rocketry programme but provided financial assistance to Rolls Royce when it ran into difficulties that hampered its defence commitments. He also presided over the first full scale roll out of Concorde.

He returned to the backbenches in 1972 and did not contest his Gloucestershire seat in the general election of 1974. After this retirement from the commons he returned to legal pursuits and took seats on the boards of various water companies.
