Nicholas Scott (1933-2005) was a Conservative politician.[1]
Northern Ireland
Scott served in the Northern Ireland Office as an Under-Secretary of State from 15 September 1981 to 11 September 1986, and thereafter as a Minister of State until 13 June 1987.[2] His strong defence of the Anglo-Irish Agreement made him unpopular with unionists who dubbed him 'Minister of Discord'.[3]
