Revision as of 14:02, 26 October 2005 by 212.219.242.162 (talk)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Daniel Robert Kawczynski (born January 24, 1972) is the Conservative Party MP for Shrewsbury and Atcham in Shropshire, England.
Kawczynski's family came to Britain from Poland in 1940, after their homeland was occupied by German forces. He was educated at Stirling University (reading business studies with languages) where he was President of the University Conservative Association in 1991. Whilst being President of this Association, he ensured the relection of the sitting Conservative MP for Stirling, Michael Forsyth. He first stood for Parliament in the 2001 general election, for Ealing Southall, coming second. He won Shrewsbury and Atcham at the 2005 general election, succeeding Paul Marsden who had been elected as Labour, but spent most of the Parliament as a Liberal Democrat and stepped down at the election.
He is believed to be the tallest MP ever to sit at the Parliament of the United Kingdom, at 6 feet 8½ inches. He attracted some publicity during the 2005 election for canvassing Leo Blair, father of Tony Blair.
