Stanley Henig was born on 7 July 1939 in Leicester, the son of the politician and businessman Sir Mark Henig, Lord Mayor of Leicester and the first chairman of the English Tourist Board. He was educated at Wyggeston Grammar School for Boys and Corpus Christi College, Oxford.
An academic political scientist, he was one of the founders of the Department of Politics at Lancaster University in 1964.

At the 1966 general election, Henig was returned to the House of Commons as Member of Parliament for Lancaster.

He entered local politics, and in the 1990s he was leader of Lancaster City Council. [1]
