Year of birth approximate. Son of John Sharpe (q.v.) and his wife, Olive. Listed as a West Indian MP by Judd though this was possibly because of his father's role as a WI agent. [See notes on his father for details.]
Succeeded his father as MP for Callington and was in the Commons for almost 15 years but played little part in parliamentary business: there is no record of him as having spoken.
