Timothy John Crommelin Eggar (born 19 December 1951) is a British businessman and former politician.
He holds positions on the boards of multiple organisations including Shiplake College and Cape plc, and was the Conservative MP for Enfield North between 1979 and 1997.
He took the 1990 Employment Act through Parliament which effectively made pre-entry closed shops and secondary action unlawful.
The girl's father later assaulted Eggar, for which the man received a suspended prison sentence.
Among other issues he had responsibility for the Government's sale of British Coal and the non-magnox nuclear power stations.
His decision can be agreed or vetoed by the Head of the Offshore Petroleum Regulator for Environment and Decommissioning (OPRED), currently Wendy Kennedy O.B.E., who holds power devolved from the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Investment Strategy (BEIS).
[6] After leaving Cambridge in 1973, Eggar qualified as a barrister before becoming an investment banker specialising in natural resource financing.
