George Pole

George Pole

George Pole was a Conservative Party (UK) member and activist, and an early member (pre-1966) of the Conservative Monday Club, of which he served as National Chairman, 1970-2. There is extant a fine portrait painting of him by Lawrence Klonaris.

At the Conservative Party (UK) Conference in Blackpool in 1970, he submitted on behalf of the London South Kensington Conservative Party Constituency Association, the following motion: "That this conference calls for immediate withdrawal of sanctions against Rhodesia and supports Her Majesty's Government in negotiating with the Rhodesian regime to normalise relations".

In January 1971 George Pole, as Club Chairman, led a Conservative Monday Club delegation of fifteen members to South Africa, and Rhodesia where they were cordially received and treated to a reception at the home of Ian Douglas Smith the Prime Minister.

In January 1973 George Pole led a further delegation of twelve Monday Club members on a fact-finding tour of Ulster, visiting the main towns and border areas, and interviewing officials.
