  • Alexander Sherlock CBE (14 February 1922 – 18 February 1999) was a British Conservative Party politician. He served as a Member of the European Parliament (MEP) for Essex South West from 1979 to 1989.

Whether speaking on budgets, hazardous waste, pollution in general, or the quality of beers and wines, he could be relied on the get quickly to the heart of the matter with technical mastery. In retirement Alec loved to work in his garden. Predeceased by his first wife, Peggy, he leaves his second wife, Eileen; one son and two daughters from his first marriage; eight grandchildren; and one great grandchild. (en)
