Leslie Huckfield MP for Nuneaton, bearded and condsidered by many colleagues to have been
Leslie Huckfield MP for Nuneaton, bearded and condsidered by many colleagues to have been one of the snappyist dressers in the House in the early 1970s. He is seen here wearing a white denim suit with a blue cotton shirt and blue silk tie. The MP had answered an advertisment that said " Progressive M.P. sought by Jeans firm for deformalisation project". Mr Huckfield answered the ad and discovered that the jeans firm wanted an MP to wear a white denim jean suit in the House so he could report back to them on how it felt and how his work was affected if at all. 3rd July 1972
