We're about three-quarters way to the amount of prose needed for a DYK entry. I haven't mined either of those profiles I have put in the external links section and now I notice Headway relates to his legal work, I could probably mention it by name. Anyone got a view on a potential hook? I'm thinking of his being special advisor to a select committee. It would be nice to know the ward he represented when a councillor.--Peter cohen (talk) 20:06, 30 November 2012 (UTC)Reply
Looks like it was Westbourne Ward, 1995-1999 though that ward appears to have disappeared since then as not in the latest wards list. See here. Keith D (talk) 23:26, 30 November 2012 (UTC)Reply
