Thomas Stuttaford

Irving Thomas Stuttaford, MD OBE, (born 4 May 1931) is a British doctor, author, medical columnist of The Times and former Conservative Member of Parliament. In 2002 he retired as Senior Medical Advisor for Barclays Bank.

Stuttaford was educated at Gresham's School and Brasenose College, Oxford.

Married to Pamela Christine Ropner on 1 June 1957, the couple had three sons: Andrew, Thomas and Hugo.

Pamela Stuttaford died on 4 July 2013.

From 1970–74 Stuttaford was the MP for Norwich South. In two subsequent elections he was selected as the conservative candidate in the Isle of Ely to oppose Clement Freud who had won the seat in a by-election in 1973 after the death of Sir Harry Legge-Bourke. Freud later increased his majority in the first 1974 election. Dr. Stuttaford lost his Norwich South seat to John Garrett in the first general election of 1974, and was selected to oppose Freud for the second general election, and fought him again in 1979. In both elections Freud's majority was reduced but although in this election Dr. Stuttaford received the highest number of Conservative votes ever recorded in the constituency, the collapse of the Labour vote ensured that Freud was again returned.
