- Ian Taylor is also a footballer.
Ian Colin Taylor MBE (born April 18 1945) is a politician in the United Kingdom. He is Conservative Party Member of Parliament (MP) for Esher and Walton since 1997 and was previously MP for Esher from 1987. He served as Minister for Science and Technology under John Major from 1994 to 1997. He is an ally of Kenneth Clarke, although in the 2005 Conservative leadership contest he backed David Davis.
Taylor is known for his pro-EU links and support for the United Kingdom to eventually join the single currency. This view is at odds with his generally-Eurosceptic Conservative Party which believes Britain should retain the Pound. He specialises in science and tecnology issues - he chairs the Conservative policy group on Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.
