Characteristics - Has made a solid start to his political career, by attaining several Select Committee memberships. A colourful and humorous MP who wanted Heathrow Airport to be renamed in memory of Princess Diana. His Honourable title is a consequence of his father's ennoblement in 1997 (Doug Hoyle, former Labour MP for Warrington North, elevated to the Lords just before the 1997 election and thus precluding the chance of serving in the Commons at the same time as his son). Named after Lindsay Hassett, a former Australian cricket captain (his father is a keen cricket fan and a long-serviing Chairman of the Cricket All Party Group).
