Harvey Proctor

Common card · No. 329614

Keith Harvey Proctor (born 16 January 1947) is a British former Conservative Member of Parliament. A member of the Monday Club, he represented Basildon from 1979 to 1983 and Billericay from 1983 to 1987. Proctor became embroiled in a scandal involving sexual relationships with males under 21, which were illegal at the time. This culminated in criminal convictions and ended his parliamentary career. Proctor was later one of those accused by Carl Beech of being part of an abuse ring, something which he strongly denied. In 2016, the investigations into Proctor concluded and found the accusations to be baseless. He was subsequently paid £900,000 in compensation for victimisation through the botched Operation Midland. His experience has seen him lead efforts to protect those in the public eye from unfair attacks by the media.
