Veterans In Politics- Season 5, Episode 4  with Earl Attlee

We meet Earl Attlee who first entered the House in 1992 and in 1999 was elected to be one of the remaining hereditary Peers. In opposition he served as a Whip and Spokesperson for various departments and as a Lord in Waiting (Lords Whip) from 2010 to 2014 under the Cameron Government.

Earl Attlee served as a Major in the Territorial Army and latterly Army Reserves (Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers) and served in Operation Lodestar and Operation Telic. He was also President of The Heavy Transport Association between 1994 and 2008 and was an In-Country Director (Rwanda) of British Direct Aid between 1995 and 1996.

Our host first met Earl Attlee when he himself was a REME Cadet some 30 years ago, so this podcast is a special reunion via politics.

He is of course, grandson to one of our greatest Prime Ministers- Clem Attlee.
