Derek Clark
Derek Roland Clark (10 October 1933 – 1 January 2023) was a UK Independence Party politician. He was a Member of the European Parliament (MEP) for the East Midlands from 2004 to 2014.
He stood as a UKIP candidate in the 2010 general election for Northampton South, receiving 1,897 votes (4.9%), which was 50 votes short of retaining his deposit.
He was educated at the University of Bristol (Teaching Certificate) and the University of Exeter. He was a retired science teacher.
In 2011, he was investigated by OLAF, the EU anti-fraud office, and was made to repay £31,800 for wages paid to employees who were working for UKIP and not for his EU Parliament work.
Clark was a climate change denier and pledged to ban the teaching of anthropogenic global warming in schools.
Clark died on 1 January 2023, at the age of 89.
