Tam Dalyell
Sir Thomas Dalyell of the Binns, 11th Baronet (born 9 August 1932), known as Tam Dalyell, is a Scottish Labour Party politician who was a member of parliament in the House of Commons from 1962 to 2005. He represented West Lothian from 1962 to 1983, then Linlithgow from 1983 to 2005. He is particularly well known for his formulation of what came to be known as the "West Lothian question", on whether non-English MPs should be able to vote upon English-only matters post political devolution.
==Early life and career==
Dalyell was born in Edinburgh,〔Loch, Percy Gordon (1934) The Family Loch, Privately Printed P202〕 and raised in his mother Nora Dalyell's family home, the Binns, near Linlithgow, West Lothian; his father (Percy) Gordon Loch, C.I.E., was a colonial civil servant and a scion of the Loch family. His father took his wife's maiden name in 1938, and through his mother he inherited the baronetcy of Dalyell, although he never uses the title.
Dalyell was educated at the Edinburgh Academy and Eton College after a short period in the Prep Department of St George's School, Edinburgh.〔http://www.stge.org.uk/alumnae/old-girls-association〕〔http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:lOksCcb1hHEJ:www.st-georges.edin.sch.uk/news%3Fpage%3D99+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=uk〕 He did his National Service with the Royal Scots Greys from 1950 to 1952 – as an ordinary trooper, after failing his officer training. He then went to King's College, Cambridge to study Mathematics but switched to History. He became Chairman of the Cambridge University Conservative Association and Vice-President of the Cambridge Union Society.〔 Joan Robinson encouraged him to stay for a year after completing his History degree to take an additional degree in Economics, which he later described as ""the hardest work I ever did, much harder than being a PPS." He then trained as a teacher at Moray House College in Edinburgh and taught at Bo'ness Academy and a ship school.
In 1969 Dalyell became a columnist for ''New Scientist'' magazine, contributing ''Westminster scene'' (later ''Westminster diary'') until his retirement in 2005. This provided "a conduit for researchers to speak to Parliament and ''vice versa''," covering many subjects of public concern including industrial diseases, data protection, chemical weapons and the environment.
