Michael Lord

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sir Michael Nicholson Lord (born October 17, 1938, Manchester) is a British politician, and Conservative Member of Parliament for Central Suffolk and North Ipswich since 1997. He was first elected to the earlier seat of Central Suffolk in 1983.

He has been a deputy Speaker of the House of Commons since 1997, and therefore does not take political stances. Before his position, he was one of the Maastricht Rebels, and was seen as socially conservative, opposing homosexuality and advocating the return of capital punishment. He was given a knighthood in 2001. Before entering Parliament somewhat uniquely he was an arboriculturalist.
