Parliamentary career
In 1979,he tried to win the Labour nomination for the Strathclyde West seat in the European Parliament,but he came third at the selection meeting,behind Valerie Friel and John Carty.
He was not replaced as the MP for Clydebank and Milngavie because constituency boundaries in Scotland were redrawn before the 2005 election. This was to bring the number of MPs per head of population in line with the ratio in England (Scotland had previously been over-represented).
He married Angela May Oliver in 1966,and now has a son (Robert Worthington) and a daughter (Jennifer Warner,née Worthington). As a recent addition to his family,he now has three grandchildren:John Warner,Elizabeth Warner and Nicole Worthington.
