Anne McIntosh
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Anne Caroline Ballingall McIntosh (born 20 September 1954, Edinburgh) is a politician in the United Kingdom. She is Conservative member of Parliament for Vale of York, and was first elected in 1997. She had previously been an MEP. McIntosh is married to John Harvey.
She has held a number of front bench positions, though never at shadow cabinet level. Having been a spokesperson previously on foreign affairs, then work and pensions, she was appointed a shadow education minister in November 2006.
In boundary changes agreed in 2006, the Vale of York constituency was divided up leaving no obvious successor; the seat with the closest identity to it was Thirsk and Malton which was the successor to Ryedale, held since 1987 by John Greenway. McIntosh was placed on the 'A-list' of Conservative parliamentary candidates ahead of the next general election [1]. Unexpectedly on 18 November 2006 the Thirsk and Malton Conservative Association chose McIntosh over Greenway as their candidate for the next general election.
