'''John Douglas Naysmith''' (Doug) (born April_1, 1941, Scotland) is the Labour and Co-operative Member_of_Parliament for Bristol North West. He had previously been a councillor in Bristol_City_Council for eighteen years, and is an Immunologist. Doug Naysmith was first elected for Bristol North West at the 1997 general election. He had previously contested it at the 1992 general election, when he lost by only 45 votes, the smallest majority in England at that election. During his time in Parliament, Doug Naysmith has largely been loyal to the government. Though he abstained in the Parliamentary vote authorizing British military involvement in the Iraq War in 2003 and voted against the introduction of Foundation Hospitals, he joined with the government in voting for the introduction of top-up fees, helping the Prime Minister secure an extremely narrow 5 vote majority (316-311). More recently, in November 2004, the Bristol North West MP voted for a controversial outright ban on Fox_hunting in England and Wales in a measure that passed the House of Commons by a substantial margin. Doug is currently a member of two select committees: Health and Regulatory Reform. He takes an active interest in health issues, is joint Chair of the Parliamentary Labour Party Health Committee and is a member of many all party groups related to health matters. Other political interests include ports and shipping, science, higher education and Co-operative development. He is Chair of the Parliamentary and Scientific Committee and secretary of the Parliamentary Universities Group. ==External links== *ePolitix - Dr Doug Naysmith official site *Guardian Unlimited Politics - Ask Aristotle: Doug Naysmith MP *TheyWorkForYou.com - Doug Naysmith MP Naysmith, Doug Naysmith, Doug Naysmith, Doug Naysmith, Doug Naysmith, Doug Naysmith, Doug Naysmith, Doug Naysmith, Doug Naysmith, Doug Naysmith, Doug {{UK-current-MP-stub}}
