The actor, who has died aged 98, was a regular visitor to parliament, attending several annual dinners of the all-party Parliamentary Historic Vehicles Group, Sky News learns.
Screen legend Leslie Phillips, star of countless TV and movie roles, once performed on the UK political stage, standing at the despatch box of the House of Commons., was a regular visitor to parliament, attending several annual dinners of the all-party Parliamentary Historic Vehicles Group, twice as guest speaker.
In the film, a comedy also starring Stanley Baxter, James Robertson-Justice and - in her first starring role - Julie Christie, Leslie played a used car salesman who sold the Bentley, a 1927 model in British racing green, to the hapless character played by Baxter. On Leslie's politics, Sir Greg said:"I think he was a Conservative, but not particularly active. He enjoyed politics and being in parliament. I gave him a guided tour and he said he was thrilled to be at the heart of the political establishment.
