David Lightbown

Sir David Lincoln Lightbown (30 November 1932 – 12 December 1995) was a British politician who was the Conservative Member of Parliament for South East Staffordshire from 1983 until his death.

[1] He served as a government whip, and his imposing physique and reputation for robust methods led to him being branded "the Terminator".

[2] Lightbown held right-wing views, endorsing capital punishment and advertising on the BBC, as well as supporting England's 1984 rugby union tour of South Africa under apartheid.

His widow, Lady Lightbown, contested his successor seat of Tamworth at the 1997 general election but was defeated by Brian Jenkins.
