From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gerald Francis Bowden (born 26 August 1935), was British Conservative MP for Dulwich from 1983 until he lost the seat in 1992 to future Labour minister Tessa Jowell.
Bowden also represented Dulwich on the Greater London Council 1977-81.
He was unemployed when he became a Conservative candidate.
He did not speak in budget day debate on the abolition of the Crystal Palace act.
He later complained of not having been told about it.
When he lost his seat to Tessa Jowell, Dulwich was a marginal with only about 0.3% of the electorate of about 60000 holding the balance of power.
