Jonathan (left) was elected to represent the
Huntingdon constituency in 2001, succeeding
John Major. Before then he served on
Westmister City Council, practised as a partner
in a commercial law firm and ran a small
business with his wife Rebecca.
As a member of the Opposition, Jonathan has
been appointed to the Trade and Industry
Select Committee and also served on the
Adoption and Children Bill and Enterprise Bill
Standing Committees. His particular interests
include trade, social issues and the rural
environment.
Often seen in St Ives, he is pictured here in
Warners Park a few weeks after his election
visiting the Police roadshow bus. With him is
Barrie who came to St Ives in the 1960s when
his father took a pub, the old Cow & Hare,
which used to be in the passage opposite the
Victoria memorial in the Broadway. Barrie runs
a small property maintenance firm, now lives
in Hemingford Abbots and has been active in
the local Conservative Party for 20 years.
He’s a founder member of St Ives Sub-Aqua
Club and a teacher and examiner with the
Royal Lifesaving Society. The Sub-Aqua Club
picked up all the stones from the river-bed
when a lorry burst through the parapet of the
old bridge in 1976. And, as a diver, Barrie
helped to recover a Halifax bomber shot down
in a Norwegian lake on a mission to sink the
German battle-cruiser Tirpitz.
