Edward Timpson

Biography:

Edward Timpson was re-elected MP for Crewe and Nantwich on May 7th 2015 with 22445 votes, taking 45.0% of the vote.

Edward is 34 and married to Julia with three children, Sam (aged four) Elizabeth (aged 2) and Lydia who is a few months old. All three of his children were born at Leighton Hospital.

He has an elder brother who now runs the family business and a sister who is a school teacher in London. He also has two adopted brothers.

His parents were foster parents, and so while growing up he shared his home with 86 other children – some staying for short periods or just at weekends, but others staying for a year or more.

His life growing up was the main reason he decided to go into family law, and his experience in working with vulnerable children and family breakdown are what motivated him to get involved in politics. After the 2015 general election, Edward was appointed to Minister of State for Children and Families, promoted from his former position as a Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State at the Department for Education with similar portfolio responsibilities.
