Roger Maxwell

Roger Maxwell

Roger Francis Hamilton Maxwell (21 March 1941 - ) is a former New Zealand politician. He was an MP from 1984 to 1999, representing the National Party.

He was first elected to Parliament in the 1984 elections as MP for Taranaki, succeeding David Thomson. When the National Party won power in the 1990 elections, Maxwell became the Minister of Business Development, the Associate Minister of Employment, and the Associate Minister of Immigration. In 1993, he became the (full) Minister of Immigration.

In the 1996 elections, his Taranaki seat was merged with the King Country seat, and the combined Taranaki-King Country electorate was taken by King Country MP (and Prime Minister) Jim Bolger — Maxwell instead contested the New Plymouth electorate, but was defeated by Labour's Harry Duynhoven. Maxwell remained in Parliament as a list MP, but lost his ministerial portfolios in the reshuffle made necessary by National's coalition with New Zealand First. He retired at the 1999 elections.
