A right royal celebration
It has been decades since an MP from Lincolnshire has held a top-level position in government.
Of the current MPs, Sleaford and North Hykeham MP Caroline Johnson is the former Vice Chair of the Conservative Party; Great Grimsby’s Lia Nici was then-Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s Private Parliamentary Secretary; and Lincoln MP Karl McCartney had a brief stint as Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Transport last year.Sir John Hayes MP for South Holland and the Deepings.
Following the 1979 election defeat in Lincoln, Dame Beckett earned her way back into parliament in 1983, as member for Derby South. Douglas Hogg had the difficult task of following in the footsteps of long-serving Grantham MP Joseph Godber when he became part of Margaret Thatcher’s elected government in 1979.
His standout parliamentary role came in 1963, when the Grantham MP was named War Secretary. However, he only served in the role for a matter of months.
