Taylor initially practised as a barrister, and served as a part-time deputy district judge (magistrates' courts). He has however been disbarred as a result of criminal convictions and imprisonment. He has also been a company director and television and radio presenter.[4][5] He is a Christian,[6] who devotes time and resources to charities, namely [https://www.kidscape.org.uk/ Kidscape], Parents for Children, SCAR (Sickle Cell Anemia Relief), Variety Club Children's Charity of Great Britain, Warwick Leadership Foundation, and WISCA (West Indian Senior Citizens' Association).[7][8][8][9] Early lifeBorn in 1952, Taylor was the son of Jamaican immigrants in Birmingham.[5] His father, Derief Taylor, was a professional cricketer and coach for Warwickshire, and his mother, Enid, was a nurse.[5] Taylor attended Moseley Grammar School in Birmingham where he was head boy, and later attended Keele University where he studied English Literature and Law, followed by the Inns of Court School of Law in London.[5] CareerLegalTaylor was called to the bar in 1978, by Gray's Inn, where he was also awarded the Gray's Inn Advocacy Award, and Norman Tapp Memorial Prize for excellence in mooting.[10] Taylor undertook his pupillage at 1 Dr Johnson's Buildings,[4] and then joined the same chambers as the future Justice Secretary, Ken Clarke.[5] Taylor practised from there on the Midland & Oxford Circuit.[4] In 1997, Taylor was appointed as a part-time district judge (Magistrates' Court).[6] He was disbarred after his conviction and imprisonment. PoliticalIn the 1980s, Taylor turned to local politics and became active in his local council. He contested Birmingham Perry Barr for the Conservative Party at the 1987 general election, losing by 6,933 votes. He was selected by Conservative Party's Central Office to become the Conservative candidate for Cheltenham at the 1992 general election.[6] The campaign was seen as having been influenced by race,[6][11] with Taylor's Caribbean background reportedly causing concern to some members of the local Conservative Party constituency association, which was completely split by the issue.[3] Conservative Central Office expelled association members over the issue.[12] John Major, then Prime Minister, campaigned for Taylor in Cheltenham,[13] but he lost the seat to Nigel Jones of the Liberal Democrats by 1,668 votes, the first time since 1950 Cheltenham had not voted for a Conservative candidate and the first time since December 1910 it had voted for a Liberal-aligned candidate. Taylor was made a life peer as Baron Taylor of Warwick, of Warwick in the County of Warwickshire on 2 October 1996,[14] on the recommendation of Prime Minister John Major.[3] At 43, he became one of the youngest life peers to sit in the House of Lords. Other activitiesIn 2016, he appeared on the Fox News channel to discuss the potential impact of Britain leaving the European Union (Brexit).[15] Other positions he has held include:[10]
False accounting convictions{{Main article|United Kingdom Parliamentary expenses scandal}}In early 2009, a major political scandal was triggered by the leaking and subsequent publication of expense claims made by members of the United Kingdom Parliament.[21] On 16 July 2010, Taylor resigned the Tory Whip after being charged with offences connected with claims totalling £11,277. Several hundred members of the House of Commons and House of Lords were involved in the expenses scandal[22][23] but only six members of the House of Commons and two, including Taylor, of the Lords, were charged and convicted. Taylor's defence in the Crown Court was that on appointment to the House of Lords he had asked other peers for advice on expenses and allowances and that he was told that the overnight subsistence allowance, the office allowance, and the travel expenses were provided in lieu of a salary, as well as the daily attendance allowance. As a result of claiming for the cost of journeys he had not made, and the cost of accommodation he had not occupied, Taylor was convicted of six counts of false accounting.[24] In his summing up to the jury, Mr Justice Saunders observed that Taylor was a man of good character who had devoted a lot of time to helping others.[25] The judge imposed a sentence of 12 months' imprisonment, relating to £11,277 in falsely claimed expenses;[26] he also said that the expenses scandal had "left an indelible stain on Parliament".[26] About 15 members of the House of Lords refused to give evidence to support Taylor's defence.[26] Personal lifeTaylor married in 1981 and had three children with his wife. They divorced in 2005. The Daily Telegraph reported that Taylor is an evangelical Christian,[27] and in 2009 he married an evangelical Christian from the US. That marriage lasted 24 days and was annulled in 2010.[6][27] In 2015, Taylor married Laura Colleen Taylor.[28] Styles of address
