Geoffrey Lawler
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Geoffrey John Lawler (born 30 October 1954) is a Conservative Party politician in the United Kingdom.
In the Conservative landslide election victory of 1983, Lawler was elected as Member of Parliament (MP) for Bradford North. This was considered a surprise result in a normally safe Labour seat, but it was caused by a split in the opposition vote.
However, in the 1987 election, the seat reverted to its usual status and Lawler lost to Labour candidate Pat Wall, on his second attempt.
Geoffrey Lawler is now the Managing Director of The Public Affairs Company, a political consultancy based in Leeds.
