Grist was Member of Parliament (MP) for Cardiff North from February 1974 to 1983, and for Cardiff Central from 1983 until 1992. Early lifeGrist was born in Southampton. First he went to prep school in Broadstairs, Kent, after which he was sent to Repton School. Having won a scholarship[1] he studied History at Jesus College, Oxford from 1957 to 1960.[2][3] He had joined the Young Conservatives in 1956[1] and in Oxford became Jesus College Conservative Association's secretary.[4][5] CareerAt first Grist wanted a career as a colonial administrator. In 1960 he went to the Southern Cameroons as a plebiscite officer, and in 1961 he moved to Nigeria, working as a manager for the United Africa Company. In 1963 he returned to Britain.[1][4] On his return he became the Tories' Welsh political education officer, and worked for the party as a researcher from 1970 to 1974. In the 1970 general election he stood for election in Aberavon, a Labour stronghold, and lost. However, he won the marginal Cardiff North constituency in the February 1974 election.[1] Member of ParliamentGrist worked hard for his constituents and preferred to handle their complaints, rather than focus on his career. When the Tories returned to power in 1979 he was appointed Parliamentary Private Secretary to Nicholas Edwards, the new Welsh Secretary, but he resigned in 1981. He returned to focusing on local issues.[1] Following boundary changes Grist stood for Cardiff Central in the 1983 general election and won.[5] In the 1987 election he held the seat by fewer than 2000 votes in what was the "closest three-way contest in Wales".[6] In 1987 Margaret Thatcher surprisingly appointed him Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Wales, a post for which his signature posed a problem ("I. Grist" signifying "Jesus Christ" in Welsh[1]), and remained in the position until he was sacked by John Major in 1990.[4] In the 1992 general election he lost Cardiff Central to Labour Co-operative candidate Jon Owen Jones.[15] Outside ParliamentAfter losing his seat Grist was made the chairman of South Glamorgan Health Authority, a post he held until 1996, when he retired due to ill health.[1][7] His appointment was regarded as controversial.[7] Political viewsWhile in opposition, Grist attacked Welsh devolution, unions, pop festivals and Neil Kinnock, whom he described as "neo-Marxist".[1] Under Thatcher he opposed the poll tax and the privatisation of water companies. He also supported the British-American alliance. In social matters, he opposed the death penalty, restrictions on abortion, and school corporal punishment. A pro-European, he supported Michael Heseltine's leadership challenge.[4] Personal life and deathIn 1966 he married Wendy White.[1] They had two sons, Julian and Toby.[4] In 2002, Grist died of a stroke at the age of 63.[4] References
