Ian Murray (born 10 August 1976) is a British Labour Party politician who has represented Edinburgh South as Member of Parliament (MP) since 2010. He served as an Edinburgh City Councillor for Liberton & Gilmerton Ward from 2003 to 2010, before his election at the 2010 Westminster elections as an Edinburgh MP. Murray is the only current remaining Scottish Labour Party MP in the House of Commons of the United Kingdom. ==Early life and education== A kinsman of the Duke of Atholl, Murray was born to a cooper father and shop worker mother in 1976. Brought up in the Wester Hailes area of Edinburgh, he attended Dumbryden Primary School,〔(www.scotlandsplaces.gov.uk )〕 then Wester Hailes High School, before going up to read Social Policy and Law at the University of Edinburgh's Academy of Government. He graduated with an honours degree (BA) at the age of 20; whilst at university he supported his studies with part-time job in a local fish & chip shop before setting up and ran a pizza delivery service. After graduation, Murray worked for Royal Blind in pensions management, before being head-hunted by an Edinburgh-based internet television station (Worldart.com) during the dot.com boom where he helped to build a new online TV station. Despite his efforts, the company ran out of funding and was made redundant; he then founded his own event management business (100 mph Events Ltd). As an event manager, Murray was involved in television production, artistic programming, sponsorship and financial management and all other areas of the business from building scaffolding to presenting artists. In 2004, Murray organised a charity ''Concert for a Landmine Free World'' with artists Billy Bragg, Chrissie Hynde, Steve Earle, Joan Baez and Emmylou Harris, which raised over £100,000. His event management experience has included organising live music concerts and broadcasting over the Internet, from various large music venues. Murray also organised a student exchange programme in Nepal to fund school buildings and staff. In 2003, Murray stood in the council elections for Liberton winning the seat for Labour at the age of 27; he later represented the larger Liberton & Gilmerton Ward from 2007 to 2010. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ian Murray (British politician)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
