William Ernest Rammell (born 10 October 1959) is a British Labour Party politician, who was the Member of Parliament (MP) for Harlow from 1997 until 2010, and served as a Minister of State in several departments from 2002.

[4][5] Rammell joined Tony Blair's government in October 2002 as an assistant whip but was promoted two weeks later to be a spokesperson for the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.

[12] In February 2008, Rammell announced plans to create a national database of children's school records and exam results which would make up a publicly owned CV.

The CV and "Learner Number" would stay with the child throughout adult life until retirement and only the British government would be able to remove records from their database entry.

[14] In September 2009, Rammell confirmed he had told Libya that the Prime Minister did not want to see convicted Lockerbie bomber Abdelbaset al-Megrahi, who had been serving a life sentence, die in prison.
