Gordon Prentice
Member of Parliament for
Pendle
Gordon Prentice has been Member of
Parliament for Pendle since 1992 when he won the
seat from the Conservatives. His main political
interests are tackling poverty, and improving housing
and health, including dentistry.
He lives in Barnoldswick when not
at Westminster. With so much outstanding countryside
in and around Pendle, it became a longstanding personal
ambition of his to see the land opened up to the
people. His Private Members Bill on the "Right to
Roam" led to the Government bringing in the Countryside
and Rights of Way Act in 2000. This had a significant
effect on opening up the countryside to the public.
Gordon is a member of the Public Administration
Select Committee, which looks into the machinery
of government issues. These have included the handling
of occupational pensions, the publication of civil
servants' memoirs, the honours system and the nomination
to peerages of donors to political parties. He also
sits on the human rights watchdog, the Council of
Europe.
