Treasurer
Henry Cox
Henry Cox has been Hon. Treasurer for over 10 years. He practised as an engineer for over 35 years, changing to transistor and digital systems in 1958. He now applies his experience of plant control systems to the design of policies. He is an experienced gardener, and remembers the "compost fiends" of the 1940s. After parting with paid work in 1985, he has done more gift work in gardens and houses, and objects to domestic work being denied as work, as productive. He follows new economics, but is still waiting for academia to change. Henry was at the two green gatherings of 1983, when the SDP Greens had brought the word Green into politics, and has attended Party Conferences ever since.

Nick Clegg is MP for Sheffield Hallam and Leader of the Liberal Democrats. He was born in 1967 and studied at three universities: Cambridge, Minnesota and College D'Europe.
He was elected as a member of the European Parliament in 1999, where as Trade and Industry spokesman for the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe he led the move to open up the domestic telecoms market, allowing consumers to pick their telephone provider for the first time and advocated trade measures against illegally logged timber. He was a co-founder of the Campaign for Parliamentary Reform, which argued for more transparency and accountability in the European Parliament.
Throughout his time as an MEP, Nick wrote essays on public policy issues including greening the WTO, secondary education policy, and reform of the EU's decision making procedures. For several years he was a columnist for Guardian Unlimited.
Nick stood down from the European Parliament in 2004 and lectured part time at Sheffield and Cambridge Universities. He was elected as MP for Sheffield Hallam in 2005 with a majority of 8,682. Charles Kennedy appointed him as Europe spokesman, acting as deputy to Sir Menzies Campbell. When Campbell won the 2006 leadership election, he appointed Nick as Shadow Home Secretary.
Nick was elected leader of the Liberal Democrats on 18 December 2007, two months after the resignation of Menzies Campbell.
Not many people know this but Nick once wrote a dissertation on deep green philosophy!
