The son of William Thomas Silvester and Kathleen Gertrude (née Jones), Silvester was educated at Sir George Monoux Grammar School, Walthamstow, and Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge, where he achieved a first class in Part I of the history tripos and a lower second in Part II of the law tripos, graduating in 1954.[2][3][4] He was called to the bar at Gray's Inn in 1957, and became a Conservative member of Walthamstow Borough Council four years later.[4] Having contested the Walthamstow West parliamentary constituency in 1966, Silvester was elected a Member of Parliament (MP) at the Walthamstow West by-election in 1967,[1] but lost the seat at the 1970 general election.[5] He was returned to Parliament at the February 1974 general election as MP for Manchester Withington,[6] and held that seat[7] but he was defeated at the 1987 general election by Labour's Keith Bradley.[8]

As an Opposition Whip during Harold Wilson's second government (1974–76),[4] Silvester is a major character in James Graham's play This House.
