Tom Arnold (politician)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sir Thomas Richard Arnold (born 25 January 1947), known as Tom Arnold, is a British politician who was the Vice-Chairman of the Conservative Party in 1983. Arnold was elected to the British House of Commons in 1974, and served as the Conservative Member of Parliament for Hazel Grove until his retirement in 1997.[1] From 1979 to 1982, Arnold was the Parliamentary Private Secretary in the Northern Ireland Office and later in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. In 1983, Arnold was appointed Vice-Chairman of the Conservative Party under Chairmans Cecil Parkinson and John Gummer.[2] Arnold was educated at the Bedales School in Petersfield, Hampshire, later at Institut Le Rosey in Switzerland,[3] and at Pembroke College, Oxford.
When Arnold began office, in 1974, he was one of the youngest members of Parliament, along with Andrew MacKay, Tim Smith, Anthony Nelson, and Sir Malcolm Rifkind.[4] Together, during the 1970s, the five were referred to as the "The Tories' Young Men", with Arnold being the only backbencher in the group.[5] Arnold was an ardent supporter of the European Economic Community during his time in Parliament.[6]
