In Volume 1 of his autobiography Brian Iddon wrote of his early
years on the West Lancashire Plain, his school and university
education and his career researching and teaching chemistry at the
universities of Durham and Salford; his demonstration lecture 'The
Magic of Chemistry' was presented in Britain and elsewhere in
Europe for 29 years. In Volume 2 he describes how he became
involved in politics and was elected to Bolton Council, serving
from 1977 until 1998, with a spell as chairman of the Housing
Committee. He was persuaded to stand for Parliament in 1997 in
Bolton South East, which he represented until his retirement in
2010. Brian helped to steer through three Acts of Parliament and
was a Member of the Science and Technology Select Committee. Woven
through both volumes are reminders that MPs have private lives too.
In his retirement Brian has turned to writing; he has written a
biography of the Wigan artist Lawrence James Isherwood and an
important timeline of Bolton's political and social history, as
well as serving on four boards in London and holding voluntary
posts in education and with a local charity. Brian hopes this book,
probably one of the most detailed accounts of a Parliamentary
career written in modern times by a back-bench MP, will help to
dispel the myth that MPs have an easy life.
