Tony Lloyd
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Anthony Joseph Lloyd, known as Tony Lloyd, (born 25 February 1950, Manchester) is a British Labour Party politician.
Lloyd was first returned to the British House of Commons at the 1983 general election, as Member of Parliament for Stretford. When constituency boundaries were revised for the 1997 general election, he transferred to the Manchester Central constituency, where he has been returned at subsequent elections.
When Labour was returned to office in 1997 under Tony Blair, Lloyd was appointed a junior minister in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office under Robin Cook, but left the Government in the reshuffle in 1999. He remains a backbencher.
Since leaving the Government, his voting record shows a strong left-wing inclination, with him appearing as a rebel teller on several notable occasions. He is also a Vice-President of the Western European Union.
