This is an accepted version of this page Maurice George Morrow, Baron Morrow (born 27 September 1948)[1] is a Unionist politician from Northern Ireland representing the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) who has been Chairman of the DUP since 2000.

[2] Like so many other Democratic Unionist Party elected representatives from that era he lacked a third-level education.

It was announced on 11 April 2006 that Morrow would be one of the first three members of the DUP to be created life peers,[3] giving the party its first representation in the House of Lords.

At the same time, it was announced that David Trimble, former MP and former leader of the Ulster Unionists, was also being appointed as a working life peer.

After hearing testimony about children and adults forced to work in brothels, farms and factories, including that of a Romanian woman who had been kidnapped in London and forced to work as a prostitute in Ireland, he put forward a bill to the Northern Ireland Assembly: the Human Trafficking and Exploitation Act, passed in 2015, which made Northern Ireland the first and only place in the UK where the act of buying sex is a crime.
