Timothy William George Collins, CBE, (born 7 May 1964) is a British politician, once a prominent member of the Conservative Party. Collins was active in the 1990s and was later the Member of Parliament (MP) for Westmorland and Lonsdale in north-west England from 1997 until his defeat at the 2005 general election to the current leader of the Liberal Democrats, Tim Farron.
Collins was educated at Chigwell School, the London School of Economics (BSc) and King's College London (MA).
Collins had significant political experience before his election to Parliament.
