Frank White (born 29 September 1939 – died 29 August 2021) was a British Labour Party politician who served as a Member of Parliament (MP) for Bury and Radcliffe.
Born in Salford, Lancashire, White had a background in local government and trade unionism before entering national politics. He served as a councillor on Salford City Council from 1965 to 1973, holding various committee responsibilities.
He was first elected to the House of Commons in the February 1974 general election, representing the constituency of Bury and Radcliffe. He successfully retained his seat in the subsequent general elections of October 1974 and 1979. During his time in Parliament, White primarily focused on issues related to local government, industry, and social welfare, reflecting his working-class background and Labour Party principles. He was known for his diligent constituency work and his commitment to the North West region.
Frank White lost his seat in the 1983 general election to David Sumberg of the Conservative Party, following boundary changes that made the constituency of Bury North (which absorbed most of his former seat) more marginal. After leaving Parliament, he remained involved in public life, including serving as a governor for Manchester Polytechnic (now Manchester Metropolitan University).
White passed away in 2021 at the age of 81.
