Career
Parliamentary After unsuccessfully contesting West Ham North in 1964, Brocklebank-Fowler entered Parliament as a Conservative Member of Parliament at the 1970 general election, representing the constituency of King"s Lynn. This seat was abolished at the February 1974 general election, when Brocklebank-Fowler was elected for the new North West Norfolk seat. In 1981, Brocklebank-Fowler defected to the Social Democratic Party in somewhat dramatic fashion, crossing the floor during a parliamentary debate on the budget to join the Social Democratic grouping.
However, at the 1983 general election the Conservatives regained North West Norfolk with a majority of about 3,000.
Brocklebank-Fowler contested the seat again at the 1987 general election, but lost by a much wider margin. Later In 1996, Brocklebank-Fowler joined the Labour Party.
