Peter Bruinvels
Edit Profile
Career
Bruinvels held various voluntary offices in the Conservative Party in Dorking and at regional level in South East England. Bruinvels was elected to the Commons for the constituency of Leicester East at the 1983 general election, by the narrow margin of 933 votes. The constituency was projected to be a safe seat for the Labour Party after boundary changes, but at the height of Labour"s unpopularity he defeated Patricia Hewitt.
He was defeated at the 1987 general election by the Labour candidate Keith Vaz.
Bruinvels was on the right-wing of his party and called for the re-introduction of the death penalty and put forward his name for the position of public executioner. Despite standing for The Wrekin in 1997, he was defeated by Labour"s Peter Bradley and has not returned to Parliament.
He has previously carried out work for the Royal British Legion as County Field Manager for Surrey. He now runs his own public relations and media management company.
