Julian Critchley
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sir Julian Michael Gordon Critchley (8 December 1930–9 September 2000) was a politician in the United Kingdom, educated at Shrewsbury School and Pembroke College, Oxford. He served as a Conservative Member of Parliament, firstly for Rochester and Chatham from 1959 to 1964, and then for Aldershot from 1970 until his retirement at the 1997 election. He was knighted in 1995.
He was a childhood friend of Michael Heseltine while they were both at Shrewsbury, and supported him in the 1990 leadership election.
After his retirement he was expelled from the mainstream Conservative party for backing the Pro-Euro Conservative Party in the 1999 European Parliament election. He died the next year from prostate cancer aged 69. He was married twice, and had four children.
