Nicholas Lyulph Russell, 6th Earl Russell (12 September 1968 – 17 August 2014), styled Viscount Amberley between 1987 and 2004, was the elder son of Conrad Russell, 5th Earl Russell and Elizabeth Russell (formerly Elizabeth Sanders). He succeeded to the Earldom of Russell on his father's death on 14 October 2004. Like his grandfather, Bertrand Russell, he was an active member of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, from his teenage years until his death. Like his father and grandfather (both of whom eventually left), he was a member of the Labour Party and would be regarded as sitting squarely within its left wing. In 1999, all but 92 hereditary peers were removed from the House of Lords–the abolition of which Russell advocated. ==Career== Russell was the disability rights campaigner for the Labour Party and was campaigns officer for the Royal National Institute of the Blind. He also trained the Metropolitan Police Service. He was a regional board member of the Co-operative Group and was active in the Co-operative Party, as well as SERA and Transport 2000. He was also a longstanding national executive member of the Socialist Educational Association. He was actively involved in Disability Labour and was a former chair of the group. He was Disability Labour's first representative on the Labour Party's National Policy Forum, NEC equalities sub-committee and the Socialist Societies executive. On 7 May 2010 Russell was elected as Labour councillor for Cann Hall ward, Waltham Forest, a position he held for a four-year term until May 2014. 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「Nicholas Russell, 6th Earl Russell」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
