Oliver Letwin (born 19 May 1956) is a British Conservative politician. He has served as Member of Parliament for West Dorset since 1997 and as Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster since 2014. Following the 2015 general election, Letwin was given overall responsibility for the Cabinet Office and became a full member of the Cabinet in the Conservative government. He had previously been Minister of State for Government Policy from 2010 and 2015. He is also Chairman of the Conservative Research Department and chaired the Conservative Party's Policy Review from 2005 to 2010. ==Early life== Letwin is the son of William Letwin (14 December 1922 – 20 February 2013), Emeritus Professor at the London School of Economics, and the Conservative academic Shirley Robin Letwin, "Jewish-American intellectuals from Chicago whose parents had fled persecution from Kiev". He was educated at The Hall School in Hampstead and at Eton College. Letwin went on to study at Trinity College, Cambridge. Whilst a student at Cambridge, he was a member of the Cambridge University Liberal Club. When asked about his membership of the Liberal club he explained: "I was also a member of the Fabian Society. But I am sorry to have to tell you that this was because I was interested in the thoughts of Liberals and Fabians (and still am) rather than because I was ever a Liberal Democrat or a Fabian." From 1980–81, Letwin was a Visiting Fellow (a Procter Fellow) of Princeton University, then a Research Fellow of Darwin College, Cambridge, from 1981 until 1982. His thesis, ''Emotion and Emotions'', earned a PhD awarded by the Cambridge Philosophy Faculty in 1982. 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「Oliver Letwin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
