Elizabeth Lois Shields (née Teare; born 27 February 1928) is a British former politician.[1][2]
Biography
Shields studied at the University of York and became a teacher and lecturer. She served as a councillor on Ryedale District Council from 1980 to 2019 for Norton (later Norton East).[3][4]
Shields contested Howden in 1979 and Ryedale in 1983. Following the death of Ryedale's Conservative MP John Spence in 1986, Shields achieved victory in the Ryedale by-election of 1986, becoming the constituency's first Liberal MP, as part of the Alliance electoral pact between the Liberals and the Social Democrats. However, it was a short-lived success, as the Conservative John Greenway regained Ryedale at the 1987 general election.[5] Shields stood for Ryedale again in 1992, this time for the Liberal Democrats, who were the successors to the Liberal Party. The Conservatives, however, increased their majority.[6]
After previously serving as the Group Leader of the Liberal Democrats on the District Council, Shields lost her seat to the Conservatives in the 2019 local elections.[7] During 1989–1990 she held the office of Chairman of the District Council.
