I was born on August 14 1943 and I am married to
Jennifer with two sons.
Dear Ian,
Just a note with a few explanations which I could incorporate in the above if
you wish but might be best in a covering letter.
My research at LSE has been on trans-Atlantic economic relations between
1976-80,but I am in the middle of negotiating a change to look at the history
since 1999 of the Financial Services Action Plan with a view to writing a
book on this very interesting topic. I was approached by senior officials in
the Commission to explore this. It would not be an official history, too soon
for that, but I would have the support of DG Market, in particular the Deputy
Director General, David Wright who has cleared the proposal with the
Director General. I have to negotiate terms with LSE too.
As you know ill health forced me to leave the FT in 1992 with an ill health
pension. I was increasingly active during my convalescence in Cornwall. I
taught writing at the Falmouth Art School and I was selected to be the
Prospective Parliamentary Candidate for the Labour Party for Truro in 1996.
I decided, however, to return to journalism in London at the New Statesman
in 1996 at the invitation of Ian Hargreaves. He had been the Deputy Editor
of the FT, Editor of The Independent and was then editing the Statesman. In
1998, as you can see, I was invited to join Institutional Investor and then a
year later Tony Hilton and Max Hastings hired me at the Evening Standard.
In Brussels I was a columnist for European Voice, which is the Brussels
subsidiary of The Economist magazine and earned a crust doing other
freelance writing, including for a while for Business Week, the US
magazine.
