Sir (William) David Madel (born 6 August 1938) is a politician in the United Kingdom.
Parliamentary career
Madel contested the London seat of Erith and Crayford in a 1965 by-election, and again in the general election the following year, but was beaten on each occasion by Labour's James Wellbeloved.
He was a Conservative Party Member of Parliament for South Bedfordshire and later South West Bedfordshire from 1970 until he stood down at the 2001 general election.
He almost suffered one of the biggest upsets of the 1997 general election, when the Labour Party spectacularly cut his majority from 21,273 to just 132 votes.
