biography

The son of a laboratory assistant studied political science at the University of Exeter after attending the Brentwood School and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts (BA Politics).

He then was 1984 Senior Private Secretary and head of the private office of the conservative lower house MPs Norman Tebbit , who during that time Minister of Industry and Trade and then Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster in the government of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and Executive Chairman ( Chairman ) of the Conservative Party was. After retiring, he was Deputy Director General of the British Chamber of Commerce from 1987 to 1990 .

Lansley was then director of the Conservative Party's research department from 1990 to 1995, and as such was the 1992 campaign manager for the Conservative Party in the 1992 general election . For his services there he was awarded the title of Commander of the Order of the British Empire . He then became Vice President of the Local Government Association in 1996 and continues to do this today.

In the general election in May 1997 he was elected for the Conservatives as a member of the House of Commons and has since represented the newly created constituency of South Cambridgeshire . One year later, in May 1998, he became vice chairman of the Conservatives and was responsible for the party's political renewal within the party executive committee. During his membership in the House of Commons, he was a member of the committees on health and on trade and industry and chaired the non-partisan parliamentary working group on stroke .

Between June 1999 and September 2001 he was a member of the conservative shadow cabinet for the first time and was shadow minister for the cabinet office and policy evaluation.

In November 2003 he was reappointed as shadow health minister in the shadow cabinet of the Conservative Party and was a member of this until May 2010. As such, he was instrumental in persuading the population to support the conservative National Health Service (NHS) program. In doing so, he was able to draw on his experience in the relevant House Committee.

Controversy erupted in January 2010 after his personal office received £ 21,000 from John Nash, chairman of private nursing company Care UK . The then Health Minister of Labor - Government of Gordon Brown , Andrew Burnham , then wrote a letter to the Conservative Party leader David Cameron to get from this guarantee that the health policy of the Conservative Party is not dictated by private health care companies.

After the Conservative Party's victory in the 2010 general election , Prime Minister David Cameron appointed him to the British Cabinet as Minister of Health on May 11, 2010 . In 2012 he became Leader of the House of Commons , which he held until 2014. On March 30, 2015, Lansley resigned from the House of Commons.

On October 5, 2015, Lansley was made a Life Peer with the title Baron Lansley, of Orwell in the County of Cambridgeshire . This also made him a member of the House of Lords .

He was diagnosed with colon cancer in July 2017 and underwent an operation followed by months of chemotherapy.
