  • Peter Gerald Malone M.A. , LL.B. , known as Gerry Malone, is a British Conservative politician who was an MP 1983-1987 and 1992-1997. He was educated at St Aloysius' College, Glasgow and the University of Glasgow. He began his parliamentary career as the unsuccessful Conservative candidate in the February 1974 General election (Glasgow Provan constituency) - defeated by Hugh Brown (Labour) followed by another losing attempt, Glasgow Pollok 1979 and the Glasgow Hillhead by-election, 1982]], losing the traditionally Conservative seat to Roy Jenkins of the SDP. He was then elected as MP for Aberdeen South in 1983, under the Thatcher government, but lost the seat to Frank Doran of Labour at the 1987 general election. He re-entered parliament in 1992, representing the 'safe' Conservative seat of Winchester. He was appointed to Minister of State at the Department of Health in 1994 when Virginia Bottomley was the Secretary of State. Malone unexpectedly lost his Winchester seat at the 1997 general election by two votes, to the Liberal Democrat Mark Oaten. Malone challenged the result in the high court, which was declared void, causing a by-election. However Malone was punished by the electorate for forcing what many saw as an unnecessary contest, trailing 21,566 votes behind Oaten in the resulting by-election. Gerry Malone was chairman of Regent-GM, one of Britain's biggest suppliers of generic drugs to the National Health Service (NHS) and a subsidiary of Nadhmi Auchi's General Mediterranean Holding. Currently he is a Non Executive Chairman of Ultrasis who specialise in computerised cognitive behavioural therapy software.
