John Dennis Concannon (16 May 1930 – 14 December 2003), known as Don Concannon, was a British Labour Party politician. Born in Doncaster, Concannon gained his education at Rossington secondary school and through the extramural department of the University of Nottingham. He worked as a miner and as a National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) official and served as a councillor on Mansfield Borough Council from 1963. Concannon was elected Member of Parliament for Mansfield at the 1966 election. Under Harold Wilson and James Callaghan (Prime Minister from 1976 to 1979), he served as a Government whip and as Northern Ireland minister, and was appointed a member of the Privy Council in 1978. He was sponsored by the NUM. A serious car accident led to his retirement as MP for Mansfield at the 1987 election; Alan Meale succeeded him in his seat. Concannon died in Mansfield, aged 73. ==References== *''Times Guide to the House of Commons 1983'' *''Almanac of British Politics'' (1999) *(Obituary in ''The Guardian'' ) * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Don Concannon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
