Andrew Struthers Stewart (27 May 1937 − 6 October 2013) was British Conservative Member of Parliament for Sherwood from 1983 until 1992 Born in Lanarkshire, Scotland, Stewart was educated at Strathaven Academy and West of Scotland Agricultural College.[1] He chaired Strathaven Young Unionists in 1957-8.[2] Having moved to Nottinghamshire to establish himself as a farmer, Stewart was elected to Nottinghamshire County Council in 1977, serving until he resigned on election to Parliament.[3] Elected for the coal mining constituency of Sherwood in 1983, Stewart was a strong supporter of those Nottinghamshire miners who continued working during the strike of 1984-5 and who went on to form the Union of Democratic Mineworkers.[4] He served as parliamentary private secretary to John MacGregor during the latter's tenure as Minister of Agriculture (1987-9), Secretary of State for Education and Science (1989–90) and Leader of the House of Commons (1990–92). He supported Margaret Thatcher when Michael Heseltine challenged for the leadership of the Conservative party in 1990. Defeated by Labour's Paddy Tipping in 1992, he later chaired the Agricultural Training Board and served on the Rural Development Commission. He was re-elected to the county council in 2002, serving until 2013. Stewart was the chairman of Hucknall Town F.C. before becoming the Honorary Life President.[5] Stewart died following a short illness, surrounded by his family, on 6 October 2013, aged 76, in Caunton, Nottinghamshire.[6] References1. ^{{cite news | url = https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/10383677/Andy-Stewart.html| title = Telegraph Obituary| accessdate = 17 October 2013 | location=London| work=The Daily Telegraph| date=16 October 2013}} 2. ^{{cite news | url = https://www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/letters/10389736/Dont-blame-old-people-for-the-financial-woes-of-the-rising-generation.html| title = Telegraph Letters - Lord Lexden on 'Tories and the Union' | accessdate = 20 October 2013 | location=London | work=The Daily Telegraph | date=19 October 2013}} 3. ^Electoral History 4. ^{{cite news |url=http://www.scotsman.com/news/obituaries/obituary-andy-stewart-former-mp-for-sherwood-and-farmer-1-3148706 |title=Obituary: Andy Stewart, former MP for Sherwood and farmer |work=The Scotsman |publisher=Johnston Publishing |date=19 October 2013 |accessdate=22 October 2013 |first=Alasdair |last=Steven}} 5. ^Who's Who At Hucknall Town FC {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080517153521/http://www.hucknalltownfc.com/club-staff.asp |date=17 May 2008 }} 6. ^STEWART
