Frank Field

Very sad to hear that ex Labour MP Frank Field has diedI was working for quite a while in Wallasey Merseyside back in the late 1980`s and always had the utmost respect for how hard he worked for his Birkenhead constituents and was lucky enough to meet him a couple of times and even though I did not agree with his politics he was always polite and had time to chat with anyone

A lovely man with whom I had the pleasure of meeting at least once a month when he served as the Chairman of the Cathdrals' Fabric Commissionfor England (CFCE) it made great strides under his, non nonsense, leadership.Sincere condolences to his family.

Very true he was indeed an amazing MP and recognised by all sides of the House.

He was a clear thinking and principled man.If only the politicians now had half his gravitas.

Yes indeed it's very sad news.I knew that he had entered a Hospice.Lord Frank Field was a local Chiswick Councillor  once and failed at some point being selected by the Local Labour Party to be their Parliamentary Candidate!He once lived in a flat above Fosters Bookshop in Chiswick ... an once in Dukes Avenue. My friend's Mum was his domestic help.He was much concerned with poverty and with one of my old bosses ..he set up the Low Pay Unit.I'm a bit gutted by his passing. What a man though.Well reported Paul.

Sad news, a man of integrity and principle, Hounslow council  could really do with someone like him now.

I've just been reading his obituary in The Times. We need more MPs prepared to stand up for what they believe in and not just toe the party line in pursuit of advancement.He was a former Hounslow Councillor!
