William David McKenzie, Baron McKenzie of Luton (Bill McKenzie) (born 24 July 1946) is an English Labour politician and, up to the General Election of 2010, was Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State at the Department for Work and Pensions and the Department for Communities and Local Government. He is also a former Partner at accounting firm Price Waterhouse which became PricewaterhouseCoopers following a 1998 merger.
Born in 1946, the son of Donald and Elsie May McKenzie, formerly Doust, McKenzie was educated at the University of Bristol between 1964 and 1967, graduating with a BA degree in Economics and Accounting. In 1967 he began his accountacy career at Martin Rata and Partners as an articled clerk and went on to qualify as a professional accountant. He moved to Price Waterhouse in 1973, working for a senior manager in many locations. In 1980 he was promoted to a Partner, holding this position until 1986, when he became a consultant. He stayed within the company, but in 1992 moved to Hong Kong, working first as consultant, and then as a partner again. He acted as partner-in-charge for Price Waterhouse Vietnam from 1996 to 1998.
McKenzie twice contested the seat of Luton South in the 1987 and 1992 General Elections respectively. However, both times his bid to become a Member of Parliament (MP) was unsuccessful.
