I've changed some of the language from the original article, the reason being it was mostly copied from an article in The Guardian, which was defamation of Sir gerald's charactor. Also added additional information. I have written that he held his seat until his death, because there is no evidence to the contrary that I have come across. If someone knows that he lost his seat during an election, please change or remove my last edit.

The Dictionary of National Biography says he was an MP until 1973.-- R613vlu 14:08, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
Yes, but the question is, did he resign his seat and then die later in the same year, or did he actually die as an MP? The entry currently includes both. CulturalSnow ( talk) 08:58, 11 September 2014 (UTC)
As I recall, he died as an MP. However his seat was still vacant, no by-election had taken place, when the February 1974 general election was called. PatGallacher ( talk) 20:34, 1 July 2022 (UTC)
He died as an MP. This is clear from the statement about his death in the Commons Hansard for 19th November 1973. 82.10.134.75 ( talk) 19:17, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
Don't you think that it should be stated, under the possible heading of 'Sir Gerald in popular culture', that he is mentioned in Monty Python's 'Fish Licence' sketch [1] and his picture appeared many times throughout the television series? Johnalexwood 17:03, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
Can some kind person please explain "Nabarro was Governor of the University of Birmingham"? I didn't know that universities had governors — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.132.223.199 ( talk) 16:16, 12 January 2017 (UTC)
Surely this name is misspelled? (Bernhardt? Bernhard?) 213.127.210.95 ( talk) 16:18, 26 October 2017 (UTC)
