Julian Lewis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Julian Murray Lewis (born 26 September 1951, in Swansea, Wales) is a British politician and Conservative Member of Parliament for New Forest East in Hampshire.
He was a leading opponent of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, and other Left-wing organisations, throughout the 1980s. From 1990 to 1996, he worked for the Research Department at Conservative Central Office, but resigned to campaign against Britain joining the single European currency before opposition to the euro was officially adopted by the Conservative Party. He was first elected as an M.P. in 1997.
Locally, he successfully opposed the development of a large container port at Dibden Bay, between Marchwood and Hythe. In Parliament, he currently holds the position of Shadow Defence Minister, having previously served as Shadow Minister for the Cabinet Office and Opposition Whip.
He has been described by Quentin Letts of the Daily Telegraph as "one of the most vigorous rightwingers in the Commons" and by David Hencke of The Guardian as the Conservative Party's "front bench terrier".
