Michael Meacher: Short Biography

I was born on November 4th 1939.

I have been the Labour MP for Oldham West and Royton since 1970.

I was a junior minister under Harold Wilson and James Callaghan (Under-Secretary for Industry, 1974-5 and Under-Secretary for Health and Social Security, 1975-9).

Despite having been a member of the Shadow Cabinet from 1983 to 1997, Anthony Blair did not appoint me to Cabinet.

I was made Minister of State for the Environment instead, first at the Department for Environment, Transport and the Regions (1997-2001), then at the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (2001-3).

I was sacked in June 2003.

Since then, I have continued to be a Labour MP.

I formally launched my bid to be Labour leader on 22nd February 2007.
