He first held the seat from 2001 until his defeat in 2010. He regained at the seat at the 2015 general election, but retired from parliament at the 2017 general election.[2] Early life and careerThe son of Dr. Charles Marris and Margaret Marris JP, he was born in Wolverhampton and partially educated at Warstones Primary School, before attending Birchfield Preparatory School and St. Edward's School in Oxford. He then moved to Canada and spent some time as a lumberjack, before obtaining a double first in History and Sociology from the University of British Columbia.[1] He then completed a master's degree, working as a truck driver whilst finishing his thesis.[3] Having decided he wanted a career in law in the UK and not being eligible for a UK grant, he spent 3 years driving trolleybuses, followed by a period as a forest fire fighter during which time he joined Greenpeace, newly founded in Vancouver, becoming world member no. 204. He was also a member of the New Democratic Party,[3] Canada's counterpart to the Labour Party as members of the Socialist International. He served his articles of clerkship in Wolverhampton and went to work for Thompsons solicitors, whose work he says is 90% Trade Union related,[3] until he was elected to Parliament.[4] Parliamentary careerFirst terms (2001–10)First elected at the 2001 general election, on 8 July 2007, he became PPS to Shaun Woodward, the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland. In July 2008, Marris received the "Backbencher of the Year" award from The House, the magazine of the House of Commons.[5] Marris spoke in a "well above average" number of parliamentary debates and had a "well above average" voting record.[6] Marris emerged well from the May 2009 political scandal of MPs expenses disclosures[7] being listed as a "saint", with minimal claims for second home. However, he was defeated in the 2010 general election by Paul Uppal of the Conservative Party. Return (2015–17)In May 2013, Marris was selected as the Labour Party's Parliamentary candidate for Wolverhampton South West in the 2015 General Election.[4] The seat was once held by the Conservative Enoch Powell, known for his April 1968 "rivers of blood" speech in which he opposed immigration. In the run-up to the 2015 election, both Marris, his main opponent, Paul Uppal and even UKIP agreed that immigration was no longer a key issue.[8] Marris expressed concern about zero-hour contracts, foodbanks and workers earnings below living wages and whilst Uppal highlighted the improvement in community relations.[8] In 2015, Marris introduced the Assisted dying Bill, based on Lord Falconer of Thoroton's earlier proposals in the House of Lords.[9] The bill was praised by Philip Collins, a leader writer for The Times as "a sophisticated and humane attempt" to clarify the law before the courts do so and which unlike religion "will actually ease suffering." Archbishop Welby's subsequent objections were described as "histrionic" and lacking any religious reason.[9] According to Linda Woodhead, professor of sociology of religion at Lancaster University, 70 per cent of religious people wanted the law changed.[10] The bill was rejected by 330 to 118.[11] He was appointed a shadow Treasury Minister by Jeremy Corbyn in September 2015.[12] Among scores of colleagues, he resigned on 30 June 2016.[13] A marginal at the 2015 general election, Marris regained Wolverhampton South West with a majority of 801 votes, he stood down at the 2017 general election[2] Outside ParliamentIn June 2008, Marris was cautioned after causing damage, which he said was unintentional, to a van which was impeding his access to a bus stop. [14] He is Honorary President of the Wolves on Wheels Cycle Campaign.[15]References1. ^1 {{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/2177221.stm|title=Rob Marris:Political profile|work=BBC news|date=16 October 2002|accessdate=27 October 2014}} 2. ^1 {{cite news|url=https://www.expressandstar.com/news/politics/2017/04/19/wolverhampton-mp-rob-marris-will-not-stand-in-2017-general-election/|title=Wolverhampton MP Rob Marris will NOT stand in 2017 General Election|work=Express & Star|location=Wolverhampton|date=19 April 2017|accessdate=19 April 2017}} 3. ^1 2 {{cite news|url=https://www.questia.com/read/1G1-66206668|title=Profile: Rob Marris – Key to a New Political Life|author=Ros Dodds|work=Birmingham Post|subscription= yes |via=Questia Online Library|date=19 October 2000|accessdate=2 November 2014}} 4. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.robmarris.net/about_rob|title=about Rob|accessdate=26 October 2014|work=RobMarris.net|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20141110083156/http://www.robmarris.net/about_rob|archivedate=10 November 2014|df=dmy-all}} 5. ^{{cite news|last=Walker|first=Jon|url=http://www.birminghampost.co.uk/news/local-news/jon-walker-backbencher-year-marris-3959327|title=Backbencher of the year Marris really has a mind of his own|work=Birmingham Post|date=20 June 2008|accessdate=26 October 2014}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.theyworkforyou.com/mp/rob_marris/wolverhampton_south_west#topics|title=Rob Marris Former MP Wolverhampton South West|work=theyworkforyou.com|accessdate=27 October 2014}} 7. ^{{cite news| url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/mps-expenses/5342657/MPs-expenses-The-saints-Part-ii.html?image=3 | work=The Daily Telegraph | location=London | title=MPs' expenses: The saints (Part ii) | accessdate=22 May 2010 | date=18 May 2009}} 8. ^1 {{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2015/apr/29/immigration-enoch-powell-wolverhampton-south-west-jobs-economy-more-important|title=Immigration: in Enoch Powell's former seat jobs and the economy matter more|author=Amelia Gentleman|work=Guardian newspapers|date=29 April 2015|accessdate=1 May 2015}} 9. ^1 {{cite news|url=http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/opinion/columnists/article4553561.ece|title=Ignore the slippery critics of assisted dying|author=Philip Collins|work=The Times|date=11 September 2015|accessdate=27 October 2015}} 10. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/faith/article4148558.ece|title= Most believers back assisted dying despite opposition of church leaders|author= Rosemary Bennett and David Sanderson|date= 16 July 2014|accessdate=27 October 2015}} 11. ^{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-34208624|title=Assisted Dying Bill: MPs reject 'right to die' law|author=James Gallagher & Philippa Roxby |work=BBC news|date=11 September 2015|accessdate=27 October 2015}} 12. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.newstatesman.com/politics/staggers/2015/09/jeremy-corbyns-shadow-cabinet-full-list-ministers|title=Jeremy Corbyn's shadow cabinet: the full list of ministers|author=Anoosh Chakelian|work=New Statesman|date=18 September 2015|accessdate=23 September 2015}} 13. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.itv.com/news/update/2016-06-30/labour-mp-quits-corbyns-shadow-cabinet/|title=Live updates: Labour leadership crisis: Labour MP quits shadow Treasury team|publisher=ITV News|date=30 June 2016|accessdate=19 April 2017}} 14. ^{{cite news| url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/politics/labour/2076906/Labour-MP-Rob-Marris-cautioned-for-damaging-van.html | work=The Daily Telegraph | location=London | title=Labour MP Rob Marris cautioned for damaging van | first=Richard | last=Edwards | date=4 June 2008 | accessdate=22 May 2010}} 15. ^{{cite web|url=http://wolvesonwheels.org.uk/latest/101-nata-transport-appraisal-is-biased-against-cycling.html|title=NATA Transport Appraisal is biased against cycling|work=WolvesonWheels|accessdate=23 September 2015}} External links
