Early life[edit]
Educated at St. Mary's (now Hill House School, Doncaster), Ackworth School (an independent school) and Doncaster Grammar School on Thorne Road[citation needed] and then reading for a BA in History at the University of Hull[3] in 1979, Winterton first worked as John Prescott's Constituency Personal Assistant from 1980 until 1986,[3] and then Parliamentary Officers, first for Southwark Council for two years until 1988 and then for a further two for the Royal College of Nursing until 1990.[3] After working for four years in the private sector, as Managing Director of Connect Public Affairs, she returned to politics to assist John Prescott in 1994; Prescott had been elected as the Deputy Leader of the Labour Party, and Winterton worked as Head of Office for the Deputy Party Leader until 1997.[3]
Parliamentary career[edit]
Winterton became an MP in the 1997 election, serving the safe Labour seat of Doncaster Central constituency with a vote share exceeding 50% in each general election until in 2010, where her vote share fell to 39.7%.[citation needed] She entered government in 2001, serving as a Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State in the Lord Chancellor's Department, and became a Minister of State at the Department for Health in June 2003; in January 2006 her responsibilities were changed to Health Services,[4] including responsibility for NHS dentistry. She presided over the introduction of the new NHS dental contract of April 2006. In June 2006, she was appointed to the Privy Council,[5] and she was sworn in on 19 July 2006.
In June 2007, she was appointed Minister of State at the Department for Transport by the new Prime Minister, Gordon Brown.[6] Winterton was subsequently appointed Minister for Yorkshire and the Humber in addition to her DfT responsibilities on 24 January 2008. She was promoted to Minister of State for Pensions at the Department for Work and Pensions in the October 2008 reshuffle, retaining her Ministerial brief for Yorkshire and the Humber.
Winterton was caught up in the row over MPs' expenses when it was claimed she used taxpayers' cash to soundproof the bedroom of her south London flat.[7] According to The Daily Telegraph, the minister claimed a total of £86,277 over four years in additional costs allowance – close to the total allowed under Parliament's green book. In the June 2009 reshuffle Winterton was moved to Minister of State for Regional Economic Development and Co-ordination at the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills and the Department for Communities and Local Government and in that role was invited to attend cabinet when her responsibility was on the agenda.
In September 2010, she was nominated and elected unopposed as Labour Chief Whip and served until October 2016 when she was replaced by Nick Brown.[8]
In June 2017 Winterton was elected to serve as Second Deputy Chairman of Ways and Means.[9]
Honours[edit]
She was appointed Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (DBE) in the 2016 New Year Honours.[10]
