Sayeeda Hussain Warsi, Baroness Warsi, PC ((ウルドゥー語:سعیده حسین وارثی), born 28 March 1971) is a British-Pakistani lawyer, politician and a conservative parliamentarian, who co-chaired the Conservative Party. She served in David Cameron's Cabinet, first as the Minister without portfolio between 2010 till 2012, then as the Senior Minister of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Office and as the Minister of State for Faith and Communities, until her resignation citing her disagreement with the Government's policy on the Israel–Gaza conflict in August 2014.〔(Lady Warsi on Palestine, Islam, quitting ... and how to stay true to your beliefs )〕 Warsi grew up in a family of Pakistani immigrants living in West Yorkshire. She studied as a solicitor at University of Leeds and the Crown Prosecution Service. In 2004, she gave up her job as a solicitor to stand, unsuccessfully, for election to parliament. After being raised to the peerage in 2007, Warsi served as Shadow Minister for Community Cohesion and Social Action. The first female Muslim to attend Cabinet, Lady Warsi came to further prominence when, at her first meeting in Downing Street, she wore a traditional South Asian shalwar kameez. ==Early life and career== Warsi was the second of five daughters born at Dewsbury, West Riding of Yorkshire, in 1971, to Pakistani immigrants from Bewal, Gujar Khan; her ancestors are from southern Pakistan. Her father, Safdar Hussain, after starting out in life as a mill worker, operates a bed manufacturing company, which has a turnover of £2 million a year. Warsi has said that her father's success led her to adopting Conservative principles. Warsi was educated at Birkdale High School, Dewsbury College, and the University of Leeds, where she studied Law. She attended the College of Law, York (now the University of Law), and completed her legal practice training thereafter with both the Crown Prosecution Service and the Home Office Immigration Department.〔(www.lawgazette.co.uk )〕 After qualifying as a solicitor, she worked for the last Conservative MP for Dewsbury, John Whitfield, at Whitfield Hallam Goodall Solicitors and then set up a practice in Dewsbury.〔(www.thersa.org )〕 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「Sayeeda Warsi, Baroness Warsi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
