Both his parents were employed by National Cash Register.

He backed the decision by Dundee City Council in 1980 to twin the city with Nablus.

In April of the following year, he took part in a good-will delegation from Dundee to visit Nablus and Kuwait City.

1999

While serving on the foreign affairs committee in 1999, he leaked a draft report to foreign secretary Robin Cook concerning the Sandline affair and Sierra Leone.
