Matthew Green
Edit ProfileMember of Parliament in the United Kingdom
Career
He went to the Priory School on Longden Road in Shrewsbury. A graduate of the University of Birmingham, where he gained a Bachelor, he worked in a variety of roles prior to his election as an Member of Parliament.
He contested Wolverhampton South West in 1997. He claims to be the first official Liberal to represent Ludlow since 1886.
He lost his seat to the Conservative, Philip Dunne, in the 2005 general election.
On 14 October 2005, Green indicated his intention to stand for election in the Ludlow constituency at the next general election. On 25 February 2006, Green was formally selected by the party to stand as their candidate at the next general election.
In May 2007 Matthew stood down as the Liberal Democratic candidate for Ludlow owing to the rapid growth of his new business, Green Planning Solutions Limited Liability Partnership. In August 2007 Heather Kidd was selected to be the next Liberal Democrat candidate for Ludlow. Regularly in the news as his company, Green Planning Solutions Limited Liability Partnership, acts as agents in high profile public inquiries, which can take place after planning permission has been refused by local authorities or after an enforcement notice has been issued.
Green has been dubbed the "Gypsy King" for his tireless advocacy for gypsies seeking the legitimization of illegal dwellings on green belt sites.
