Peter Thorneycroft

Peter Thorneycroft

George Edward Peter Thorneycroft, Thorneycroftin paroni (26. heinäkuuta 1909 – 4. kesäkuuta 1994) oli brittiläinen konservatiivipoliitikko, joka toimi useissa ministerintehtävissä 1950-luvulta 1960-luvun alkuun.

Thorneycroft nousi brittiparlamentin alahuoneeseen 1938 ja toimi siellä yhtäjaksoisesti vuoteen 1966. Hän oli alahuoneen johtaja 1945–1951, minkä jälkeen hänet nimitettiin kauppaministeriksi ensin Winston Churchillin, sitten Anthony Edenin ja vielä Harold Macmillanin hallitukseen vuoteen 1957 asti. Sen jälkeen hän toimi vuoden verran valtiovarainministerinä ja vietti pari sapattivuotta matkustellen ja maalaten, kunnes hänet nimitettiin 1960 ensin ilmailuministeriksi ja 1962 puolustusministeriksi.[1][2] Kun konservatiivipuolue siirtyi oppositioon vuonna 1964 Thorneycroft toimi varjohallituksen puolustusministerinä vuoteen 1965 ja sitten varjohallituksen sisäasiainministerinä vuoteen 1966.

Thorneycroft syntyi majuri George Edward Mervyn Thorneycroftin (1883–1943) pojaksi. Hän opiskeli Eton Collegessa ja vuodesta 1928 Royal Military Academyssä ja nimitettiin tykistöupseeriksi. Kaksossisarensa esimerkin innoittamana hän kiinnostui oikeustieteestä ja alkoi opiskella lakia Oxfordin yliopistossa yhdessä muun muassa Quintin Hoggin kanssa. Hän valmistui lakimieheksi 1935, harjoitti ammattia Birminghamissä ja aloitti poliittisen uransa 1938.[3]

Konservatiivipuolueen johtaja Margaret Thatcher kutsui Thorneycroft konservatiivipuolueen puheenjohtajaksi. Tässä virassa Thorneycroft toimi vuoteen 1981. Poliittisen uransa jälkeen 1960-luvun puolivälistä kuolemaansa 1994 asti Thorneycroft työskenteli päätoimenaan italialaisen Pirelli-kumiteollisuusyhtiön johtotehtävissä Britanniassa. Lisäksi hän istui useiden muiden yritysten hallituksissa.[3]
