David Wilshire (16 September 1943 – 31 October 2023) was a British politician. A member of the Conservative Party, he was the Member of Parliament (MP) for Spelthorne in Surrey from 1987 to 2010. Wilshire was considered to be to the right of the party's mainstream.
Wilshire introduced Section 28 legislation in 1988. In 2009 he was implicated in the United Kingdom parliamentary expenses scandal.[1]
On 14 October 2009, Wilshire admitted using parliamentary expenses to pay £105,000 over three years to Moorlands Research Services, a company he set up and owned with his partner Ann Palmer to run his office. While the relevant authorities had approved this, the following day, after a meeting with the Conservative Chief Whip, he announced that he would not be standing as a candidate at the next general election.[2]
