Ian Revell

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ian Murray Revell (1948 - ) is a former New Zealand politician. He was an MP from 1990 to 1999, representing the National Party. He was first elected to Parliament in the 1990 elections as MP for Birkenhead, defeating the incumbent Jenny Kirk of the Labour Party. He remained MP for Birkenhead until the seat was abolished in the 1996 elections, when he successfully stood for the new Northcote electorate. In the 1999 elections, he was defeated by Labour's Ann Hartley. He was not on National's party list, and so left Parliament. Before entering politics, Revell was a policeman.

Revell was formerly the patron of the Monarchist League of New Zealand, but resigned in 2000 after leaving Parliament.
