Priti Patel (born 29 March 1972) is a British Conservative Party politician who has been the Member of Parliament (MP) for the Witham constituency in Essex since 2010. Appointed Minister of State for Employment attending Cabinet on 11 May 2015, and a member of the Public Administration Select Committee, she is regarded as being ideologically on her party's right-wing. Patel was born in London to a Ugandan Indian migrant family. Educated at Keele University and the University of Essex, she was initially involved with the Referendum Party before switching allegiance to the Conservatives. She contested Nottingham North unsuccessfully at the 2005 general election before, under David Cameron's leadership, being recommended for the Party's "A-List" of prospective candidates; she was elected Conservative MP for the seat of Witham at the 2010 general election. A sometimes outspoken figure, Patel has been criticised by political opponents for defending the tobacco and alcohol industries, and for suggesting that some British workers are lazy in an economic treatise. ==Early life== Patel was born on 29 March 1972, and was brought up in South Harrow and Ruislip. Her parents were Ugandan immigrants of Gujarati origin who came to Hertfordshire, England in the 1960s, departing Uganda shortly before President Idi Amin announced the expulsion of Ugandan Asians; they established a chain of newsagents in London and the South East of England. Patel attended Watford Grammar School for Girls in Watford, before studying Economics, Sociology and Social Anthropology at Keele University, completing her postgraduate studies at the University of Essex. She joined the Conservative Party when John Major was Prime Minister.〔 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「Priti Patel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
