KEITH SIMPSON

''For the football player of the same name see Keith Simpson (football player).''
'Keith Robert Simpson' (born 29 March 1949) is a politician in the United Kingdom. He is a Conservative Party Member of Parliament for Mid Norfolk, and was first elected in 1997. He is also a shadow Foreign Minister. He is distinct in the house of commons, with 'trade mark' moustache and round glasses.
He is particularly well known in his constituency for his campaigning for the widening of particular main roads, in response to high road fatalities.
Keith was educated at Thorpe Grammar School, Norfolk, the University of Hull, and undertook post-graduate research in War Studies at King's College, London.
He is married to Pepita, daughter of Norman Hollingsworth. They have one son who attends Uppingham
As a military historian, Keith has been Director of Cranfield Security Studies Institute, Cranfield University, and a Senior Lecturer in War Studies and International Affairs at the Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst. He is the author of five books on military history.
In July 2006 Keith survived the boundary changes and was selected for the newly created seat of Broadland. This draws from his current constituency, the large Norfolk North seat and Norwich North. The new seat has a notional majority of 5121 which is thought to make it a potential target seat for Liberal Democrats at the next general election. Keith had a comfortable 7560 majority over labour in the 2005 general election
