Subject: MP Winston Churchill, grandson of former PM, dies
Written By: Philip Eno on 03/03/10 at 11:59 am
Former Conservative MP Winston Churchill, grandson of the wartime Tory prime minister, has died aged 69.
Mr Churchill, who represented Stretford and Davyhulme in Greater Manchester, had been fighting cancer for two years.
After working as a journalist in the 1960s, he was elected to Parliament in 1970 and remained an MP until 1997.
Mr Churchill later became president of the UK National Defence Association, which campaigned for more support for the armed forces.
Commander John Muxworthy, the association's chief executive, described Mr Churchill as a "true patriot".
He was MP for Stretford until 1983, representing Davyhulme after constituency boundaries changed but he did not achieve high ministerial office.
