Roper was educated at William Hulme's Grammar School (Manchester), Reading School, Magdalen College, Oxford (studying Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE) and the University of Chicago. He began his career as an economics lecturer at the University of Manchester.

He was elected Member of Parliament for Farnworth at the 1970 general election.
He sat as a Labour Co-operative MP (1970–81) and for the Social Democratic Party (SDP) from 1981 to 1983, when he was also the party's Chief Whip.
In 1972 he acted as an unofficial whip for pro-European Labour MPs to help pass the Heath government's European Communities Act.
Roper rejected the charges and said that he was engaged in building bridges with East Germany in the 1980s as part of a Foreign Office-approved policy of thawing relations.
"He was deceived, he says, about the background of an undercover Stasi officer he employed as a research fellow when he was director of studies at Chatham House".
His Farnworth seat was subsequently abolished, and he contested Worsley (which contained parts of the abolished Farnworth constituency) in the 1983 general election, finishing third in a three-way marginal.
On 12 May 2000, he was created a Life peer as Baron Roper, of Thorney Island in the City of Westminster.

He was subsequently appointed to the Privy Council of the United Kingdom.
In 2008, he was elected Principal Deputy Chairman of Committees.
He retired from the House of Lords on 23 May 2015.
