Politician. Born in Edinburgh. He entered parliament in 2005, and in 2010 after the formation of the coalition government, was appointed Secretary of State for Education. He was criticised by the conference the National Association of Head Teachers, whose members condemned the climate of bullying, fear and intimidation they said he had created, and passed a vote of no confidence in his policies.
