RESEARCH PAPER 09/31 Members since 1979 20 APRIL 2009

This Research Paper provides a complete list of all Members who have served in the House of Commons since the general election of 1979, together with basic biographical and parliamentary data. The Library and the House of Commons Information Office are frequently asked for such information and this Paper is based on the data we collate from published sources to assist us in responding. Since this Paper is produced part way through the 2005 Parliament, a subsequent edition will be prepared after its dissolution to create a full record of its MPs. The cut off date for the material in this edition is 31 March 2009.

Summary of main points

This Research Paper provides a complete list of all Members who have served in the House of Commons since the general election of 1979 with basic biographical and parliamentary information. The Library and the House of Commons Information Office are frequently asked for such information and this paper is based on the data we collate from published sources to assist us in responding. Since this Paper is produced part way through the 2005 Parliament, a subsequent edition will be prepared after its dissolution to create a full record of its MPs. The cut off date for the information in this edition is 31 March 2009.

The Research Paper attempts to provide accurate data, but the Library would be very grateful to receive comments and corrections so that these can be corrected on the online version and in future editions. These should be sent to [email protected] or Ms Oonagh Gay, 1 Derby Gate London, SW1A 2DG.

Information about MPs who entered the Commons before 1979 is available in four volumes from Michael Stenton and Stephen Lees’s Who’s Who of British Members of Parliament (1981), which was compiled from the biographical records of Members given in successive issues of Dod’s Parliamentary Companion. These volumes covered the years 1832 to 1979. The Library and Stephen Lees have systematically updated the entries for these volumes, so that the dates at which pre-1979 Members died are recorded. These updates form the second part of this Research Paper. Again, any corrections or comments would be welcome.

I Introduction

As noted in the summary, this Paper provides a complete list of all Members who have served in the House of Commons since the general election of 1979. The task of checking the data has involved input from several Library staff, but particular thanks are due to Chris Pond and Antoinette Balaban from Reference Services, Jean Fessey of the House of Commons Information Office, Andrew Parker of the Parliament and Constitution Centre, Jeremy Hardacre of the Statistics Resource Unit and Richard Cracknell of the Social and General Statistics Section.

A. Scope of the data in Part II

Members with any service since 1979 are included, with a cut-off date of 31 March 2009. The only exceptions are for Sir Clement Freud who died on 15th April 2009 and Sir Paul Dean who died 1st April 2009. The information published covers the following categories:

• Personal details (full name, gender, date of birth and death, honours awarded, peerage) • Constituency representation (names of constituencies represented and dates) • Other UK Parliament electoral history (elections contested but lost) • Representation in other legislatures (UK devolved legislatures and European Parliament) • Party allegiance (only covering the time in the UK Parliament or other legislatures) • Ministerial posts • Official Opposition Shadow Cabinet posts held since 1979, and Liberal Democrat and Conservative Opposition posts held since 2005 • Selected other posts (including Parliamentary and devolved legislature offices and party leadership)

The details given are taken from official records, such as the swearing-in lists in the House of Commons Journal, and from records compiled by the Library, such as the holding of ministerial office. Generally the details are not sourced from the information supplied (by Members themselves) to Dods and reproduced in Who’s Who of British MPs, although such sources were used to check for errors.

External sources used to cross check information include: Dod’s Parliamentary Companion, Who’s Who, the Keele University General Elections since 1832 website 1 and the Britain Votes series (Colin Rallings & Michael Thrasher (previously FWS Craig)). Ministerial posts were checked with Nuffield College’s Whitehall Programme database.2 We are also grateful to Professor Michael Rush of the University of Exeter who provided access to his database of backgrounds and career patterns of Members since 1832.

The following categories of information are not included:

• Select committee membership. The addition of this data is an on-going project. Information about select committee membership for individual Members is available from the House of Commons Information Office. • Personal information, such as marriages and offspring. This can be obtained from a variety of sources, including Who’s Who/Who Was Who, Dod’s Parliamentary Companion, and the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography. • Dates of maiden speeches. These are available in two separate Parliamentary Information Lists that can be accessed via the internet Maiden Speeches 1979 onward http://www.parliament.uk/commons/lib/research/briefings/snpc-04588.pdf Maiden Speeches 1945-1979 http://www.parliament.uk/commons/lib/research/briefings/snpc-04587.pdf

B. MPs since 1979 - statistical summary

In the seven General Elections and by-elections since 1979, 1,606 individuals have been elected as Members of Parliament. 654 were first elected as Conservative MPs, 723 Labour and 125 Liberal Democrat3; 1,401 MPs since 1979 were men and 205 (13%) were women. Of the 205 women MPs, 139 were first elected as Labour MPs, 36 Conservative and 19 Liberal Democrat4.

Of the 1,606 MPs since 1979, 209 first entered Parliament as by-election winners and 1,397 were at general elections.

1. Age

The average age of MPs has been remarkably consistent since 1979, at around 50 years. Since 1997, the average age of MPs elected has risen, from 49.3 years in 1997 to 51.2 years in 2005. In 2005 56% (363) of those elected were aged over 50, compared with 48% (319) in 1992, and 47% (302) in 1997. The 14 MPs aged over 70 elected in 2005 was higher than at any previous election since 1979, when it had also been 14.

Of those elected at the 2005 General Election, Labour MPs are older, on average than those from the other major parties. 90% of Labour MPs are aged over 40; compared to 83% of Conservative and 69% of Liberal Democrat.

2. Gender

In 1979 there were 19 women MPs, 3% of all MPs. The number of women MPs rose slowly over the next three parliaments to 60 in 1992. The 1997 Labour landslide was accompanied by a doubling of the number of women MPs to 120 (it rose during the 97- 01 Parliament to 122 following the election of two women at by-elections). That number fell back to 118 after the 2001 election but rose to 128 after the 2005 General Election. This means that, women now make up 20%, 1 in 5, of all MPs. This is the highest ever proportion.

As Table 3 shows, the majority of female MPs are Labour MPs and this has especially been the case since 1997.

3. Occupation

The Nuffield election studies provide analyses of occupations of candidates and MPs elected at each election. These data are restricted to the three main parties but give a reasonably consistent guide to the occupational background of MPs over the period. The following table summarises the proportions in the main groups:

The proportion with professional backgrounds has declined from around 45% in 1979 to below 40% in 2005. Within this category the proportion of former barristers has halved while the proportion of former solicitors and teachers from universities/colleges has risen. MPs with a background in business tend to be Conservative and the decline in the number from business was reversed in 2005. As the professions have declined they have been replaced by MPs from other non-manual occupations and notable is the growth in the number of MPs who come to Westminster already with a political background. In 1979, 3% of MPs from the main parties were previously politicians/political organisers, in 2005 14% were.

4. Ethnicity

An individual’s ethnicity is self-defined. Consequently, it is hard to obtain complete records of MPs’ ethnicity, particularly historically. It is generally stated that the first non- white MPs since the War were elected in 1987, when four Labour MPs were from a non- white background. Following the 2005 election, 2.3% of Members of Parliament are from non-white backgrounds. This compares with the 8% of the UK population who were from a non-white background at the time of the 2001 Census of Population.

There have been no non-white Liberal Democrat MPs elected at general elections; Parmjit Singh Gill was elected for the Liberal Democrats at a by-election in 2004 in Leicester South, but he did not retain the seat at the 2005 General Election.

5. Education

Around one-third of current MPs have been to fee-paying schools. This proportion varies by party – In 2005, from 18% of Labour MPs to 60% of Conservative and 39% of Liberal Democrat. By comparison, 8% of pupils aged 11 and over in UK schools are in non- maintained (fee-paying) schools.5 Around three-quarters of MPs elected in 2005 were graduates.

Since 1979, the main change in terms of educational background of MPs has been the rising proportion who have been to university (non-Oxbridge). In 1979, 225 MPs elected from the 3 main parties had been to Oxford or Cambridge universities, representing 36% of these parties’ MPs. In the 2005 election, 163 of MPs elected from the 3 main parties had an Oxbridge background, 27% of MPs.

6. Parliamentary Experience

Since 1979, the Member with longest service as an MP was Sir Edward Heath with 51.7 years. He is followed by Sir Peter Tapsell with 48.7 years service as an MP (to 31 March 2009) and Tony Benn with 47.8 years.

12 RESEARCH PAPER 09/31

The shortest service was by MPs who won by-elections. Two Members subsequently died; Bobby Sands (Fermanagh & South Tyrone) 26 days after election and Mike Carr (Bootle) after 57 days. Ossie O’Brien (Darlington) was elected at a by-election but defeated 77 days later at the 1983 General Election.

Of those elected in 2005, 119 (18%) had no previous parliamentary experience; 4 were elected in 2005 having previously served in parliaments prior to 2001, but not in the 2001-5 parliament; and 523 (81%) had been MPs in the previous 2001-05 parliament.

C. Data in Part III

The updates to the third and fourth volumes of Stenton and Lees in Part III were initially compiled by Library staff and have been checked with Stephen Lees who has been particularly generous with his assistance. Once again we would be grateful for comments and corrections.

An Appendix on the role of the Member provides some commentary on how the role of the member has changed in the quarter-century covered by this work.

III Stenton and Lees Addenda

Material supplementary to Vols III & IV of Who’s Who of British Members of Parliament:

This section gives the dates of death of Members not listed in Part II of this Research Paper, that is, who did not serve in the Commons after May 1979 (but who are in previous volumes of Stenton and Lees). Dates are taken from published sources; we cannot guarantee that they have been cross-checked with registration records. Names are given in the form listed in Stenton & Lees. Where a constituency is given in brackets, this is to distinguish the individual from another Member of the same name. Members whose exact dates of death are already given in Volumes III or IV are not included in these lists. However, where only a year was published, full details are included here. The lists are based on information available as at 31 March 2009.

The Library is grateful to Stephen Lees for the information he has supplied.

Appendix – The role of the Member since 1979

The role of a Member has changed in a number of significant ways since 1979. These may be summarised as: • Increasing professionalism – most backbenchers now work full time as MPs, and employ at least three staff. • Development of constituency work – increasing emphasis on casework and local issues. • Growing scrutiny role in select committee work – chairmen are paid a salary and have visibility as spokespeople for the Commons

Following a new system of allowances for Members recommended by the SSRB, the resources available to Members have significantly increased since 2001. The then Labour Party Chairman, Charles Clarke, emphasised to the Committee on Standards in Public Life in 2002 the extent to which MPs are effectively running small businesses.i The SSRB produced a job description in 1996, which remains the most authoritative statement of the role of the MP.ii The increase in staff, combined with new technology has meant that MPs can offer a more proactive service to constituents, rather than simply a responsive service based on regular surgeries. The opening of new parliamentary buildings in 1990 and 2000 has enabled the vast majority of Members to have their own office, and to watch parliamentary proceedings either via internal channels or through the internet. Webcasting of Westminster proceedings began in 2002 and a full service has been available since October 2004.iii

Since 1979, it has been evident that each new intake of MPs has devoted more time to constituency work, and spends more time in the constituency.iv Changes in the pattern of parliamentary business have facilitated this. Beginning with the Jopling reforms of the early 1990s, late night sittings have decreased, and Fridays have become mainly non sitting.v

The system of departmental select committees was introduced in 1979 and has played a significant part in broadening the work of an MP at Westminster.vi Particular committees have had a high-profile role in investigating prime political issues, such as the Westland Helicopter affair in 1986, or the Pergau Dam affair in the 1990s. Different scrutiny mechanisms have been developed by members of the committees, and the core tasks of committees were defined in the 2001-05 Parliament.vii Committees now undertake pre- legislative scrutiny of Government bills, post-confirmation hearings, and investigations of associated public bodies.viii A salary is paid to chairmen of select committees, and some chairmen have achieved considerable prominence through this position. Extra staff have been made available to committees, including the establishment of a central Scrutiny Unit in 2002.

These trends have been seen as contributing to a reduced emphasis on proceedings in the Chamber. This resulted in a report in 2007 by the Modernisation Committee, Revitalising the Chamber: the role of the back bench Member.ix However, many more parliamentary questions are now tabled and answered, and new parliamentary practices have been developed, such as the use of Westminster Hall as a debating chamber for select committee reports and constituency matters.x Since 1997 a new system of programming Government bills has superseded the more haphazard use of guillotines.xi

191 RESEARCH PAPER 09/31

Although the same number of bills was passed in 1908 as in 1997, the acts of 1908 took up 736 small pages, those of 1997 took up 3,073 larger ones.xii 11,368 statutory instruments were passed in 2005, compared with 330 in 1911, illustrating the exponential growth in secondary legislation passed by Parliament. Party discipline has declined overall, since its peak in the 1950s, with increasing numbers of Members prepared to rebel where they feel it is necessary.xiii

The composition of the House of Commons has changed too. At the time of the 2005 General Election, the average age of a Member was 51.2 years, whereas it was 49.6 in 1979. In that Parliament 3% of MPs were women; since the 2005 election this has become 20%.xiv The first minority ethnic MPs for several decades were elected in 1987, in 2005 there were 14 minority ethnic MPs.xv There are indications that MPs are becoming healthier: there were six by elections in the 2001 Parliament– previous parliaments since 1979 typically had at least three times this number. The proportion of Members who come from a ‘political’ occupation, such as a policy institute, research assistant, etc has increased, while the number from some professions and occupations, such as barristers and the armed services has declined. At the same time the number of former manual workers among MPs has also fallen.xvi

Standards of conduct have been tightened. Until the mid-1990s an enforcement mechanism for policing the register of Member’s interests was lacking. Although the register had been established in 1974, there were only 3 investigations of failure to register between 1976 and the beginning of 1989. The Committee on Standards of Public Life recommended a new position of Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards and a Code of Conduct for Members which was established in 1995. There are now regular reports on alleged breaches of the Code each session. xvii Members are now less likely to have significant outside professions such as the law, and their involvement in political consultancy has lessened since 1997.xviii The application of Freedom of Information legislation to the Commons (and Lords) since January 2005 has led to greater detail in the disclosure of expenses claimed by individual Members.xix

There are new parliaments/assemblies in the UK and in Europe. 1979 marked the first direct elections to the European Parliament. In 1998/99 the Scottish Parliament, the National Assembly for Wales and the Northern Ireland Assembly all came into existence. For the first term of each new body there were a number of Members who sat for a devolved legislature and for Westminster. By 2007, this practice had almost ceased, except for Northern Ireland where the Assembly had been suspended on a number of occasions. The one exception in the 2005 Parliament is Alex Salmond, currently the First Minister at Holyrood. Membership of the EU has had an impact on the work of the Westminster Parliament, with a number of committees established to scrutinise EU legislation.

Nevertheless, the process of parliamentary scrutiny continues as it has for centuries. The debates on the Falklands War in 1982, the abolition of the Greater London Council in 1986, the controversy of the Maastricht treaty in 1992, the drama of the Westland crisis in 1986, and the debates on Iraq in 2003 can be counted among the great parliamentary occasions of the modern era.

Some customs of the House have been modernised, symbolised by the election of Betty Boothroyd as the first female Speaker in 1992. She decided to dispense with the

192 RESEARCH PAPER 09/31 traditional wig worn by the Speaker. But Members decided to keep division lobbies, rather than follow the introduction of electronic voting in the Scottish Parliament. Nor has the design of the chamber been changed. So in many ways the Members elected in 1979 would find the Commons of today a familiar place.
