Sir Peter Hordern DL PC
18th April 1929 - 18th April 2024
I was very sorry to hear that Sir Peter Hordern, MP for Horsham (and Horsham and Crawley) from 1964 to 1997 died Thursday evening on his 95th birthday.
Peter was a remarkable man and an extremely able MP: he was well ahead of his time on economic policy and a brilliant parliamentary advocate. He chaired the Public Accounts Committee 1988-1997 and was an assiduous local Member of Parliament.
On a personal level I will always be hugely in Peter’s debt for his kind and sage advice. He maintained a close and informed interest in politics throughout and will be greatly missed.
Our thoughts are with Lady Hordern and his family and many friends.
The County Times have printed an obituary of Peter which can be found here: https://www.sussexexpress.co.uk/.../tribute-to-former...
