Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Iain MacDonald Sproat is a retired British Conservative politician and former Member of Parliament. He was educated at Winchester College and Magdalen College, Oxford. He worked as a publisher and journalist. In 1979 he married Judith Mary Kernot. At the 1970 general election, he stood in the marginal Scottish constituency of Aberdeen South, and ousted the sitting Labour MP, Donald Dewar. He was re-elected there at three further elections, until the 1983 general election when he moved to contest Roxburgh and Berwickshire believing that this was a "safer" seat. However, Aberdeen South was held by the Conservatives,while Roxburgh and Berwickshire fell to the Liberal candidate Archy Kirkwood. Sproat returned to Parliament nine years later, moving to England and succeeding Sir Julian Ridsdale as MP for Harwich in the 1992 general election. At the 1997 general election, he was defeated by the Labour candidate Ivan Henderson
