Timeline

1922

Additionally, Norris registered the Conservative Parliamentary Group for Homosexual Law Reform with the party's whips office and the 1922 Committee.

Realising that the party would not make a manifesto commitment to age of consent equality, the group decided to lobby individual ministers and departments with an agenda for change.

1945

Steven John Norris (born 24 May 1945) is a British Conservative Party politician and businessman.

1956

Norris attended the Liverpool Institute for Boys, a grammar school, from 1956 to 1963 where he was Head Boy.

He earned an open Exhibition in Social Studies and graduated from Worcester College, Oxford, where he was President of the University Law Society.

1967

This included a review of the 1967 Sexual Offences Act to allow for an equal age of consent, as well as allowing gays and lesbians to serve openly in the armed forces; supporting a more liberal prosecution policy in Scotland; enforcement of existing Home Office advice against police entrapment and a more positive image for the Conservative Party on equality issues.

Norris also was one of a handful of prominent Tories who lobbied against the discriminatory Section 28, ostensibly intended by its supporters to outlaw the teaching of homosexuality in schools, later was repealed by the Blair government and renounced by the Conservative Party under David Cameron.

At the time of repeal, Norris opposed then leader William Hague’s support of the measure.

1977

After graduating, he pursued a career in the engineering and motor industries and entered politics upon election to Berkshire County Council in 1977, where he became Deputy Leader.

In 13 years as Member of Parliament, Norris was appointed Parliamentary Private Secretary to William Waldegrave, at the Department of the Environment; to Nicholas Ridley at the Department of Trade and Industry; and to Kenneth Baker at the Home Office.

1983

Norris served as Member of Parliament for Oxford East from 1983 to 1987.

1987

After narrowly losing that marginal seat in 1987 he re-entered the House of Commons at a by-election for Epping Forest in 1988, which he held until stepping down to focus on his business career in 1997.

1992

He was then promoted to Minister for Transport in London by John Major in 1992, where he was responsible for the Jubilee line Extension, the largest extension of the London Underground network to date.

Norris’ expertise on public transport issues led him to roles as Chairman of the National Cycling Strategy Board, Director General of the Road Haulage Association and President of the Motor Cycle Industry Association, and a Commissioner with the Independent Transport Commission.

He also served as patron of the cyclists charity, Sustrans, and of the Campaign for Better Transport (UK) Trust.

Norris was a pioneer for equality for gays and lesbians before the law as a Member of Parliament and later as a Mayoral candidate.

In particular, Norris took the step of writing to the Conservative Party Chairman Chris Patten to suggest that the party include an equal age of consent in its next election manifesto.

1999

In September 1999, Norris contested Jeffrey Archer for the Conservative Party nomination for Mayor of London.

Archer was initially selected as the candidate by party members, but was forced to withdraw later that year after it was revealed that he had committed perjury in a libel case.

Archer was subsequently convicted of the crime and imprisoned.

Norris was then selected as the Conservative Party candidate in a ballot of members in December of that year, going on to earn 42% of the vote against duly-elected London Mayor Ken Livingstone.

2000

He was subsequently chosen by Conservative Party members to be the Conservative candidate for Mayor of London in 2000 and 2004 in which he secured 42% and 45% respectively, coming second to Ken Livingstone but ahead of the Conservative Party's vote share for the Greater London Assembly.

2001

This change in the law was eventually achieved in 2001 under the Blair government.

2002

In November 2002, Norris formally announced his intention to run again for the London mayoralty.

2003

In February 2003, he was again selected as the party's candidate in a ballot of London party members.

His platform included plans for after-hours London Underground services and an approach to crime based on the 'broken windows' theory that had been championed by New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani.

Norris had met Giuliani during the campaign, and proposed an agreement with Giuliani Partners to advise him as mayor, should Norris be successful.

2008

Following speculation that he might run again for the mayoralty in 2008, and the extension of the party's deadline for nominations in the hope of attracting a heavyweight candidate, Norris said in an interview that "If I run, I'll win", but ultimately chose not to apply.

Subsequently, Boris Johnson became the party's candidate.

He is one of Property Week's Property Power 100 and is chairman of Soho Estates, which controls around 60 acres of London's Soho district.

He is also chairman of London Resort Company Holdings, developers of the £3.5 billion entertainment resort project in Kent.

2014

He was a main board member of Cubic Corporation of San Diego, California, a defence and transportation technology specialist, serving from 2014 until 2021, when the company was sold to Elliott and Veritas Capital.

He remains an advisor to the UK business.

He is Chairman of Evtec Automotive Limited, a Tier 1 supplier principally to Jaguar Landrover.

2019

He was Independent Non-Executive Chairman of This Land Limited, Cambridgeshire County Council's arms- length property company from 2019 – 2022.

He is Chairman of Future-Built Limited, a construction company, and of EVO.PM, a proptech maintenance company.

He is also a partner with Craig Calder in Sanctuary Investments Limited.

In the infrastructure sector, he is chair of the Council of the National Infrastructure Planning Association and chairman of Driver Group plc.

In the field of transportation, he was a member of the board of Transport for London under Mayor Boris Johnson.

He is deputy chairman of bus manufacturer Optare.
