Hartley Booth
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vernon Edward Hartley Booth, known as Hartley Booth (born 17 July 1946) is a British politician. He succeeded Margaret Thatcher as the Conservative Member of Parliament for Finchley from the 1992 general election until the constituency was abolished in the 1997 general election. He resigned from his position as a Parliamentary Private Secretary in February 1994 after revelations that he had had a “friendship” with a former research assistant, Emily Barr, who went on to be a successful journalist and novelist.[1] A Methodist preacher, Booth is related to the founders of the Salvation Army. Booth lost a bruising fight with the Hendon South MP John Marshall for the nomination for the new Finchley and Golders Green seat, and was unsuccessful in finding another seat before the election. As it turned out, John Marshall went on to lose the 1997 general election to Labour's Rudi Vis.
