Parliamentary career
Rogerson contested North East Bedfordshire in 2001. In 2005 he used the Cornish language during the swearing of allegiance in Parliament along with Andrew George in an effort to support the preservation of Cornish identity and culture.
In 2006 Rogerson asked the government to make 5 March a public holiday in Cornwall to recognise celebrations for St Piran's Day.[1]
Rogerson is chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Cheese, and opposed Ofcom's inclusion of cheese in its new regulations restricting television advertising of junk foods to children aged under 16. [2]
