Labour MP Jack Dromey died suddenly in his flat in Birmingham on Friday
morning, a statement issued on behalf of the 73-year-old shadow minister’s
family said.
Dromey, married to party grandee Harriet Harman, was understood to have died from natural causes.
A statement issued on behalf of the family said: “He had been a dedicated member of parliament for Birmingham Erdington since 2010. He was a much loved husband, father and grandfather, and he will be greatly missed.”
Dromey was appointed shadow minister for immigration last year. He has also held shadow cabinet briefs for housing and policing, among other roles.
Prior to his election to Parliament, he was the deputy general secretary of the Transport and General Workers Union and Labour party treasurer.
