Kerry Patrick Pollard (born 27 April 1944) is a Labour Party politician in the United Kingdom. He was elected at the 1997 general election as Member of Parliament (MP) for St Albans, and held the seat until his defeat at the 2005 general election.
Pollard was brought up in Rochdale. He attended the Catholic Thornleigh Salesian College in Astley Bridge, Bolton. He has an Open University BA in Industrial Relations and Urban Regeneration.
Pollard was a Housing Association director, interested in social justice and social inclusion. He came in third place at his first attempt to be elected as MP for the St Albans constituency in the 1992 general election.
Kerry Pollard raised an early day motion in the House of Commons on Monday 19 April 1999 in support of Bradford & Bingley Building Society's fight to stay mutual. He urged Bradford & Bingley members to vote against moves to force Britain's second-largest building society to convert to a bank, saying "the early day motion will express the fear that were Bradford & Bingley Building Society to become a bank, the entire building society movement will be damaged directly."
