Lindsay Hoyle
Sir Lindsay Harvey Hoyle (born 10 June 1957) is a British politician who has served as Speaker of the House of Commons since 2019 and as Member of Parliament (MP) for Chorley since 1997. Before his election as speaker, he was a member of the Labour Party.
As a Labour MP, Hoyle served as Chairman of Ways and Means and a deputy speaker to John Bercow from 2010 to 2019, before being elected as Speaker on 4 November 2019. Hoyle was unanimously re-elected as Speaker after both the 2019 general election and the 2024 general election.
Hoyle was appointed a Knight Bachelor in the 2018 New Year Honours for parliamentary and political services.
Lindsay Hoyle was born on 10 June 1957 in Adlington, the son of the future Labour MP Doug Hoyle (later Lord Hoyle) and Pauline Spencer. He went to Adlington County School and Lord's College in Bolton. Prior to being elected as an MP, he ran his own textile and screen printing business.
In the 1980 local elections, Hoyle was elected as the Labour councillor for the ward of Adlington on Chorley Borough Council, defeating the sitting Conservative. He was re-elected four times, and served as Deputy Leader from 1994 to 1997. After being elected as an MP at the 1997 general election, he ended his time on the council as the annual mayor before stepping down at the local election in 1998.
In February 1996, Hoyle was chosen as the Labour candidate for Chorley at the 1997 general election; he was elected to Parliament as MP for Chorley with 53% of the vote and a majority of 9,870.
In the days after the death of Diana, Princess of Wales, in August 1997, Hoyle asked for a new national children's hospital to be built as a memorial to her. A few days later, Hoyle wrote to airport operator BAA, operators of London Heathrow Airport, urging them to change the airport's name to Diana, Princess of Wales Airport. However, neither proposal was carried out.
Hoyle served as a member of the Trade and Industry Committee (later the Business Committee) from 1998 to 2010 and as a member of the European Scrutiny Committee from 2005 to 2010. He was previously the Honorary President of the All-Party British Gibraltar Group in Parliament (of which his father was the Treasurer) and a Vice Chair of the All-Party British Virgin Islands Group.
