Edward Heath Career

For many years, Heath persisted in criticism of the party's new ideological direction. At the time of his defeat, he was still popular with rank-and-file Conservative members and was warmly applauded at the 1975 Conservative Party Conference. He played a leading role in the 1975 referendum campaign in which the UK voted to remain part of the EEC, and he remained active on the international stage, serving on the Brandt Commission investigation into developmental issues, particularly on North–South projects (Brandt Report).

His relations with Thatcher remained poor, and in 1979–80, he turned down her offers of the positions of Ambassador to the United States and Secretary General of NATO. He continued as a central figure on the left of the party and, at the 1981 Conservative Party conference, openly criticised the government's economic policy of monetarism, which had seen inflation rise from 13% in 1979 to 18% in 1980 then fall to 4% by 1983, but had seen unemployment double from around 1.5 million to a postwar high of 3.3 million during that time.

In 1990, he flew to Baghdad to attempt to negotiate the release of aircraft passengers on British Airways Flight 149 and other British nationals taken hostage when Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait. After the events of Black Wednesday in 1992, he stated in the House of Commons that government should build a fund of reserves to counter currency speculators.

In 1987, he was nominated in the election for the Chancellorship of the University of Oxford but lost to Roy Jenkins as a result of splitting the Conservative vote with Lord Blake.

Heath continued to serve as a backbench MP for the London constituency of Old Bexley and Sidcup and was, from 1992, the longest-serving MP ("Father of the House") and the oldest British MP. As Father of the House, he oversaw the election of two Speakers of the Commons, Betty Boothroyd and Michael Martin. Heath was created a Knight of the Garter on 23 April 1992. He retired from Parliament at the 2001 general election. Heath and Tony Benn were the last two serving MPs to have been elected during the reign of George VI, with Heath serving continuously since 1950.

Heath maintained business links with several companies including a Saudi think tank, two investment funds and a Chinese freight operator, mainly as an adviser on China or a member of the governing board. According to Chris Patten, the last Governor of Hong Kong, his commercial interests in China could have been one of the reasons why he denounced the democratic reforms introduced in the run-up to the handover of Hong Kong.

Parliament broke with precedent by commissioning a bust of Heath while he was still alive. Commentators have noted how the statue of Margaret Thatcher appears to overshadow Heath's bust. The 1993 bronze work, by Martin Jennings, was moved to the Members' Lobby in 2002. On 29 April 2002, in his eighty-sixth year, he made a public appearance at Downing Street alongside the then–prime minister Tony Blair and the three other surviving former prime ministers at the time (James Callaghan, Margaret Thatcher and John Major), as well as relatives of deceased prime ministers, for a dinner which was part of the Golden Jubilee of Elizabeth II. This was to be one of his last public appearances, as the following year saw a decline in his health.

Not a scintilla of evidence for 'Nick's' vile claims so why DID Met lap them up?In the second extract from his riveting memoirs, RICHARD HENRIQUES details the incompetence of the investigation into a 'VIP paedophile ring' at the heart of the establishmen

How had the Met had come to believe 'Nick' and then, on his say-so alone, cruelly expose a number of very eminent, innocent individuals (including Harvey Proctor and Lord Brittan, both pictured above left) to vile and false accusations? I was asked to answer this problem. It was clear to me that 'Nick' (main picture) was not only a serial liar, but that his charges were also astonishing within hours of starting to read the documents surrounding the long police investigation.

Queen Elizabeth's annual visit to the Sandringham Women's Institute includes a face flannel competition, decorated coat hangers, and a Cutty Sark made from crustaceans

The late Queen could be found at a card table in a village hall pouring tea for three other women of a certain age. She was in Sandringham as the President of the Women's Institute's Sandringham branch, and this first meeting of the year was always a highlight on her calendar. Elizabeth was following in the footsteps of her mother and grandmother, Queen Mary, who established the branch in 1919 for the local community, mainly the wives and daughters of Sandringham estate workers.

Frog in the Lords and colleagues of Ted Heath have sparked anger against Wiltshire Police for an 'amateurish' £1.5 million inquiry into suspected child sex misconduct allegations against ex Prime Minister David Cameron - the first step in a public inquiry into fiasco

www.dailymail.co.uk, January 18, 2024
During the probe into child sex abuse allegations, Sir Edward Heath's (left) close colleagues were never approached by police officers, according to Parliament. Several former Prime Minister May's colleagues have slammed the 'amateurish' probe, pressuring for a public inquiry into the unsolved charges. Despite Mr Heath's accusers, dreamer Carl Beech (right), being jailed for perverting the path of justice, they say it has tarnished the image of a "great statesman." Mr Heath had no evidence against him, although Carl Beech, his chief accuser, was both a paedophil and fantasist. Beech, the woman who screamed over a murderous VIP paedophile ring in Westminster, was sentenced to 18 years in prison.
