Nick St Aubyn
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nicholas Francis St Aubyn, known as Nick St Aubyn (born 19 November 1955) is a Conservative Party politician in the United Kingdom.
St Aubyn was the unsuccessful Conservative candidate at the Truro by-election in March 1987 following the death of David Penhaligon MP, when Matthew Taylor comfortably held the seat for the Liberals. He stood again in Truro at the 1987 general election, halving the Liberal majority, but slipped back at the 1992 general election.
Following the retirement of long-serving Conservative MP and former minister David Howell, St Aubyn was selected as Conservative candidate for Guildford constituency at the 1997 general election. He held the seat with a considerably reduced majority over the Liberal Democrats, but at the 2001 election a local swing from the Labour Party to the LibDems saw the LibDem candidate Sue Doughty win the seat.
He did not contest the 2005 election, when Anne Milton narrowly retook the seat for the Consevatives.
