Anthony Joseph Lloyd (born 25 February 1950) is a British Labour Party politician, Greater Manchester Police and Crime Commissioner and interim Mayor of Greater Manchester.
Born in Stretford, Lloyd served as a Trafford councillor from 1979 to 1984. In 1983, he was elected Member of Parliament (MP) for Stretford, representing the constituency until 1997, when the Manchester Central seat was created. As an MP, Lloyd was an opposition spokesman between 1987 and 1997, a Minister of State in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office between 1997 and 1999 and Chair of the Parliamentary Labour Party from 2006 to 2012. Lloyd continued as a constituency MP until October 2012, when he stepped down to contest the 2012 Police and Crime Commissioner elections for Greater Manchester Police area. He was elected and assumed the position in November 2012.
In 2011, the Manchester Evening News listed Lloyd among its 250 Most Influential People in Greater Manchester, describing him as "a major figure on Labour politics in Greater Manchester", and "the most powerful man in Greater Manchester" on his election as Police and Crime Commissioner in 2012.
Lloyd, appointed Interim Mayor of Greater Manchester on 29 May 2015,[2] announced on 11 February 2016 that he would be running to become the Labour Party candidate in the Greater Manchester mayoral election.

He was raised in Stretford, and attended Stretford Grammar School for Boys, the University of Nottingham (where he gained a BSc degree in Maths in 1972), and Manchester Business School (where he studied for a MBA degree), before becoming a lecturer in Business Studies at the University of Salford.
