Charles Irving

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sir Charles Graham Irving (4 May 1924 - 30 March 1995) was a British Conservative Member of Parliament for Cheltenham from October 1974 until his retirement in 1992.

He was not afraid to stand up to the Prime Minister of the Day, Margaret Thatcher, though he was a big fan of hers. From the day she was elected leader of the Conservative Party until she resigned as Prime Minister fifteen years later, Irving paid to have fresh flowers delivered to her. He was a former Mayor of Cheltenham prior to his election as an MP.
