Tim Yeo

Tim Yeo (born 1945) is a British Conservative politician, member of Parliament for Suffolk South, and the Shadow Trade and Industry Secretary.

He has been MP for Suffolk South since 1983, and became PPS to Douglas Hurd in 1988. By 1993, he had become Minister for the Environment and Countyside in John Major's government, but was forced to resign after a scandal involving his so-called 'love child' with a Tory councillor - which was seen to conflict with the Government's emphasis on 'Back to Basics', and family values.

After the disastrous Tory loss in the 1997 election, the new leader William Hague appointed him spokesman on Environment, Transport and the Regions, and he has been in the shadow cabinet since 1998.
