Nicholas Ridley (born in 1929) was a British Conservative politician, and cabinet minister.
Short Biography:
After a period in industry he became active as a "dry" right winger in the Conservative Party: a "Thatcherite" before Margaret OThatcher had brought the term to public attention.
He served under Harold Macmillan, Edward Heath and Alec Douglas-Home, but did not become a member of the cabinet until 1983.
His apparent disdain for public opinion caused his transfer, in 1989, from the Department of the Environment to that of Trade and Industry, and his resignation in 1990 after ill-considered remarks about Germany.
