Keith Hill (politician)

Trevor Keith Hill (born 28 July 1943) is an English Labour Party politician who served as Member of Parliament for Streatham from 1992 until 2010, as well as in a variety of Government roles as a Whip and a junior minister.

Hill was born in Leicester and educated at City Boys' Grammar School, from where he won a scholarship to Corpus Christi College, Oxford.

This was a task that he took to with clear relish – regional television viewers saw Hill doing a rap in the middle of Trafalgar Square with a baseball hat on back to front to try to encourage young Londoners to vote in the elections.

During this period he had lead responsibility for housing, planning, the Thames Gateway, urban policy and liveability issues, and was Minister for London and the Dome.

In the reshuffle following the 2005 general election, he was appointed Parliamentary Private Secretary to the Prime Minister, Tony Blair.

In 2012 Hill was appointed as the independent regulator for the Association of Residential Managing Agents (ARMA) new self-regulatory regime.
