Anthony Joseph Lloyd (born 25 February 1950) is a British Labour Party politician, the inaugural Greater Manchester Police and Crime Commissioner and interim Mayor of Greater Manchester. Born in Stretford, Lloyd served as a Trafford councillor from 1979 to 1984. In 1983, Lloyd was elected Member of Parliament (MP) for Stretford, representing the constituency until 1997, when the Manchester Central seat was created. As an MP, Lloyd was an opposition spokesman between 1987 and 1997, a Minister of State in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office between 1997 and 1999 and Chair of the Parliamentary Labour Party from 2006 to 2012. Lloyd continued as a constituency MP until October 2012, when he stepped down to contest the 2012 Police and Crime Commissioner elections in the Greater Manchester Police area.〔 He was elected and assumed the position in November 2012. In 2011, the ''Manchester Evening News'' listed Lloyd among its ''250 of the Most Influential People in Greater Manchester'', describing him as "a major figure on Labour politics in Greater Manchester", and introduced him as "the most powerful man in Greater Manchester" on his victory as the region's inaugural Police and Crime Commissioner in 2012. In a directory of MPs produced by ''The Guardian'', Andrew Roth described Lloyd as a "well informed, thoughtful and realistic regionalist and internationalist". ==Background and family life== Lloyd was born in Stretford,〔 on 25 February 1950, the fourth of five children to Sydney and Ciceley Lloyd (''née'' Boatte). He was raised in Stretford,〔 and attended Stretford Grammar School for Boys, the University of Nottingham (where he gained a BSc degree in Maths in 1972), and Manchester Business School (where he studied for a MBA degree), before becoming a lecturer in Business Studies at the University of Salford.〔 Lloyd's father died when he was 13, leaving his mother Ciceley, a staunch supporter of the Labour Party, to shape his values. Lloyd said: "my mother had friends who died in the Spanish Civil War. I saw that as a simple battle of good v evil and in that sense the basic morality of politics was instilled in me. I have always thought if not fighting for what's right and just, then what is politics for?".〔 Lloyd married Judith Ann Tear in 1974.〔 They have three daughters and a son. Lloyd supports Manchester United F.C., and in March 2011 tabled an early day motion in the House of Commons for Ryan Giggs to be knighted.〔 He has ambitions to become a beekeeper.〔 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「Tony Lloyd」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
