Former leader of Wandsworth Council IIRC. Represented some other constituency from 87(?) to 92 and wasn't reelected. Christchurch was the Tories' only 97 regain of the 92-97 by-election losses, but it's a seat they really, really should never have lost.

Lewis right on all counts (I think). And the seat he represented was historically Labour Southampton Itchen; he won in the first place because of a split in the Labour vote between the incumbent Bob Mitchell (who was in the SDP by that point) and John Denham (then a hard Left firebrand).
