Peter was
born in Billericay in Essex in 1952 and was educated at Westcliff-on-Sea Grammar
School. He lives in Rushden and is a
chartered accountant by profession, having qualified in 1977. He has also
run both a public company and a family business. He is married to Jennie
and they have three children: Alex who is an RAF helicopter pilot, Helen
who is a teacher and Thomas who was born 01/01/01.
Peter is
heavily involved in the local community. He is the founder of the Listening
to Wellingborough and Rushden Campaign which has been helping local
residents and groups since 2001. Peter is the Leader of HealthWatch and is
a Save Our Schools (SOS) campaigner.
A former
Councillor and School Governor, Peter is also a former voluntary board
member of Rockingham Forest Housing Association. He has a huge interest in
our community and works hard to listen and represent local people.
Peter is also
a keen sportsman and he has run in the London Marathon on many occasions,
raising thousands of pounds for charity. Peter and his family are members
of St Mary's Church in Rushden and Peter’s wife, Jennie, sits on the
Parochial Church Council.
Elected to
Parliament in May 2005, Peter served on the Joint Committee on Statutory
Instruments. He was Treasurer of the All Party Trafficking of Women and
Children Group, Secretary of the All Party Road Traffic Group and on the
Health Select committee. He was also a Member of the Finance Bill Committee
which met four times a week in Parliament to go through the details of the
budget announced this year. It is through the line by line scrutiny of the
budget in committee that he was able to highlight the Government’s
inconsistencies and hopefully improve the Finance Bill. Previously he was
also on the Trade and Industry Select committee.
Peter was
re-elected in 2010 with almost 12,000 increase in his majority.
