Neil Carmichael, Baron Carmichael of Kelvingrove
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Neil George Carmichael, Baron Carmichael of Kelvingrove (10 October 1921 – 19 July 2001) was a British politician. He was a Labour Member of Parliament (MP) in Glasgow from 1962 to 1983.
Carmichael was the son of James Carmichael MP. He was educated at Estbank Academy and the Royal College of Science and Technology, Glasgow. He was an engineer and a councillor on Glasgow Town Council.
Carmichael was elected as MP for Glasgow Woodside at a by-election in 1962, and held the seat until the constituency was abolished at the February 1974 election, when he was elected for Glasgow Kelvingrove. For the 1983 general election his constituency was abolished and merged with Glasgow Hillhead which had been won in a by-election by Roy Jenkins for the SDP. The two incumbent MPs fought each other, with Jenkins winning; shortly afterwards, Carmichael was awarded a Life peerage as Baron Carmichael of Kelvingrove, of Camlachie in the District of Glasgow.
