Barry Porter

Barry Porter

George Barrington Porter, known as Barry Porter (11 June 1939 – 3 November 1996) was a British lawyer and Conservative Party politician.

Porter was first elected at the 1979 general election as Member of Parliament (MP) for Bebington and Ellesmere Port. After boundary changes for the 1983 election, he was returned for the new constituency of Wirral South.

Educated at Birkenhead School and Oxford University, he trained as a solicitor and was a partner and later a consultant in a Birkenhead-based firm of solicitors. His death in 1996, after suffering from cancer, eliminated the majority of one enjoyed by the government of John Major in the House of Commons, and the consequent February 1997 by-election was won by Labour's Ben Chapman.
