Obituary: Dr Ian Gibson, scientist and respected MP who remained true to his principles

Died: April 9, 2021. DR Ian Gibson, who has died at the age of 82 from pancreatic cancer, was that rarity among MPs – an acknowledged expert in science and medicine who embarked on a Parliamentary career because he believed that, through politics, he could do good for a greater number. Dr Gibson was born in Dumfries, but his adopted city was Norwich where he was elected for its North constituency in 1997 at the age of 58. A man very much of his own opinions, he won the chairmanship of the Commons Select Committee on science and technology in 2001, despite opposition from the Labour whips.
