Ken Clarke is Member of Parliament for Rushcliffe, as well as a Non-Executive Director at Foreign and Colonial Investment Trust plc and Independent News and Media (UK) Limited. He has also served since 1998 as Non-Executive Deputy Chairman of British American Tobacco p.l.c., where he chairs the Remuneration Committee and the Corporate Social Responsibility Committee and sits on the company's Audit Committee and Nominations Committee. Educated at Nottingham High School and Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, Ken became interested in politics when he was President of Cambridge Union. A barrister-at-law and appointed Queen's Counsel in 1980, he was elected Member of Parliament for Rushcliffe in the 1970 General Election and served as Chancellor of the Exchequer from 1993 to 1997. Ken first came across British American Tobacco early in Margaret Thatcher's government. "I was Inner Cities Minister and I encountered the company's work as a good corporate citizen in supporting urban regeneration projects. British American Tobacco is actually one of the more advanced and responsible British companies I've come across." Married with two children, Ken enjoys a wide variety of interests. "I like to keep up the tradition of British eccentricity, so I have lots of hobbies. I'm a very keen bird watcher. I use it as an excuse to go to wild and beautiful places - combining that wherever I go with good eating and drinking.
