Joseph Kenneth Hargreaves, MBE, FCIS (1 March 1939 – 23 June 2012), served as the Conservative Member of Parliament for Hyndburn in Lancashire between 1983 and 1992.
A chartered secretary and company administrator by profession, Hargreaves served as a local councillor becoming Mayor of Hyndburn for 1979/80.[2]
In 1990, Hargreaves, with Liberal Democrat MP David Alton (now Lord Alton of Liverpool), founded the Movement for Christian Democracy (now the Christian Peoples Alliance) serving as Vice-Chairman with the support of Monsignor Thomas Adamson.
After losing his seat at the 1992 general election to Greg Pope of Labour,[3] Hargreaves worked at Conservative Central Office as liaison with local Conservative Clubs. At the 2005 general election, he campaigned unsuccessfully in Hyndburn for Conservative candidate James Mawdsley.[4]
A devout Roman Catholic, he was a parishioner of St Mary's RC Church, Oswaldtwistle, in his former constituency.[5] Hargreaves died on 23 June 2012 at the East Lancashire Hospice at Blackburn.[6]
