== Political career ==
In 1988, as a backbencher Nelson introduced a successful private members bill to televise the House of Commons despite Margaret Thatcher being against the move. Initially this was for a 18-month trial period before becoming permanent after support from key parliamentarians (including the Deputy speaker Betty Boothroyd).〔BBC News: 18 November 2009, http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/8367150.stm〕 He also introduced a number of amendments to legislation enhancing the protection of investors, depositors and policy holders. As a Minister, Nelson was responsible for economic and monetary policy as well as supervision of the financial services industry under successive Chancellors of the Exchequer, Norman Lamont and Kenneth Clarke. As Minister for Trade and Industry, he was responsible for export policy and promotion as well as the Reconstruction and Renewal of Lloyd's of London.
Before joining Parliament, Nelson founded the Action Group for Penal Reform, was a founder member of the National Victims Association and a member of the Council of the Howard League. In Parliament, he served as a member of the Select Committee on Science and Technology 1975–79. He was Parliamentary Private Secretary to the Minister for Housing and Construction 1979–1983 and to the Minister for the Armed Forces 1983–85. He was Economic Secretary to the Treasury 1992–94; Minister of State at the Treasury 1994–5; and Minister of State at the Department for Trade and Industry 1995–97.
Three days before the 2001 general election Nelson announced that he had joined the Labour Party, saying that he believed "only Tony Blair offers the leadership and vision this country needs".〔BBC News: 4 June 2001, http://news.bbc.co.uk/news/vote2001/hi/english/newsid_1369000/1369364.stm〕 An ardent pro-European in and out of Parliament, Nelson took over from Lord Marshall of Knightsbridge as Chairman of Britain in Europe in 2004.
