Conrad Black

Conrad Black is a former media mogul whose Hollinger International empire once included the Daily Telegraph, the Jerusalem Post and the Chicago Sun-Times. He was sentenced to 6.5 years in prison for fraud and obstruction of justice in December 2007.RightWeb profile - Conrad Black, accessed 4 March 2007. While Black was the proprietor of The Telegraph the newspapers journalists complained that his pro-Israeli views were affecting editorial policy. According to a report in The Guardian:
:"Three prominent writers - all of them past contributors to Mr Black's Telegraph group have signed a letter to the Spectator accusing him of abusing his responsibilities as a proprietor. Such is the vehemance with which Mr Black has expounded his pro-Israeli held view, they say, no editor or reporter would dare to write frankly about the Palestinian perspective"Matt Wells, The Black arts leave writers riled, The Guardian, 16-March-2001, Accessed 06-October-2009.

Conrad Heron

Conrad Heron worked at MI5 in 1974, and probably much longer.
His name is mentioned in an internal document of the Information Research Department (IRD), a secret anti-communist progaganda unit within the Foreign & Commonwealth Office.DocCloud
"Mr. Conrad Heron's group at the Security Service" worked with the IRD in 1974, to feed material to Woodrow Wyatt when he was making the documentary Red Under The Bed for ITV.The National Archives, Woodrow Wyatt's TV programme, 'Red Under the Bed', PREM 15/2011, released 2015.Secret memos confirm government role in the jailing of Ricky Tomlinson, Tom Coburg, Special Branch Files.org, 15 June 2020. Originally published in The Canary, 30 May 2020 (last accessed June 2020) This suggests that Heron was working on industrial disputes, unions and/or groups associated with communists.
The IRD document mentioned the group 'met fortnightly over the past year', which was 1973 - a year with plenty of strikes.

Conrad Lichtenstein

Conrad Lichtenstein is professor of molecular biology at Queen Mary College, University of London. His research group was the first to engineer resistance to virus infections in genetically modified plants. 
Lichtenstein says that he is committed to the public understanding of science. He has written newspaper articles in support of GM and engaged in public debate. He was vice chair of the Seeds of Opportunity Conference in London in 2001. The conference, which was chaired by Prof Philip Stott and was described in The Guardian as 'a major biotech fest which was (surprise, surprise) sponsored by the US embassy and attracted many of the world's most vociferous proponents of the technology'.
In 2003 Lichtenstein also took part in the UK's official GM Public Debate. Dr Mae-Wan Ho, a scientist who debated with him on one occasion, noted that he 'introduced himself as a professor of molecular biology' without any mention of the fact that he was a member of CropGen, the biotech-industry funded GM lobby group. Despite this, 'two representatives from Monsanto accompanied Lichtenstein and stayed by his side the whole day, and at a press interview, answered questions on his behalf.' At the end of the meeting, Dr Ho reports , 'one Monsanto rep congratulated Lichtenstein, "You were very good to-day!" We boarded the same train back to London, Lichtenstein and Monsanto reps in first class, I in economy.' Dr Ho has also criticised Lichtenstein's 'abuse of scientific evidence (as well as abuse of scientists)'.

Conservative Christian Fellowship

The Conservative Christian Fellowship is a campaign group founded by Tim Montgomerie in 1990. 
In early 1997 40 Conservative MPs and four cabinet ministers were members of the Conservative Christian Fellowship, members included Brian Mawhinney, Peter Lilley, John Gummer, Anne Widdecombe and Lord Mackay. At this time the group were receiving advice from the U.S. on how best to 'strip Tony Blair's New Labour of its claims to be Christian'.Martin Wroe, Tories get US Election Aid for Holy War on Labour, The Independent, 26-January-1997 
==Criticism==
Nick Cohen argues that the Conservative Christian Fellowship's journal 'denounced gay soldiers as suicide risks, security risks, blackmail risks, health risks and rape risks' and that its chairman Tim Montgomerie said that he was willing to give 'sacrificial care' to homosexuals who saw the error of the their ways.Nick Cohen, Comment: Without Prejudice: Let us pray for William Hague. Oh well, suit yourself, The Observer, 12-September-1999
In 2001 the Fellowship was based at Conservative Party headquarters and controversy arose when a leaked document revealed close links between links between the Synod, a faction which fielded candidates in elections to the Church's ruling body and the Conservative Christian Fellowship. The revelation prompted Graham Dale, from the Christian Socialist Movement to argue that:
:'Christians everywhere need to be aware of the increasingly well-funded efforts of the Conservative Party to infiltrate and influence normal democratic church debate'.Andrew Grice, Tories Accused Over Elections to SYNOD, The Independent, 19-January-2001

Conservative Friends of Nuclear Energy

==Background==
The Conservative Friends of Nuclear Energy was set up by David Morris MP and launched at the Conservative Party Conference in October 2010. 
==Events==
In February 2011 CFNE co-hosted with Gardant Communications a reception in the House of Commons titled: 'The Electricity Market Reform: Implications for nuclear power generation'. According to Claire Davidson, Managing Partner of Gardant:
:in attendance were senior industry representatives including Horizon Nuclear Power, ESBI, Rolls-Royce, Centrica Energy, AMEC, Westinghouse, Doosan Babcock, OGN Group, EDF Energy and Balfour Beatty, members of both Houses of Parliament and leaders from the nuclear industry's trades unions. Interesting and provocative keynote addresses were made by the Energy Minister Charles Hendry MP and the Chair of Trade Unionists for Safe Nuclear Energy (TUSNE), Dougie Rooney.
:Charles Hendry welcomed the coming together of representatives of the Trade Union movement and the Conservative Party, and noted there was much common ground. His focus since being appointed Energy minister has been to identify, and then remove, the barriers to new nuclear power stations. New stations were "vital to energy security", he noted, and "critical for new high-value jobs".
:"A significant investment was needed in skills and this would benefit both the domestic and potential export markets", the Minister went on to say. "The industry still has many issues to address including planning and reprocessing, but the immediate focus must be on financing - hence the importance of the ongoing Electricity Market Reform (EMR) consultation." He concluded with a clear statement about the key role new nuclear stations will play in support of economic recovery and energy security.
:...Both Charles and Dougie then spent a generous amount of their time engaging the reception attendees in lengthy and wide-ranging discussions. Clare Davidson, Gardant Commentary, 7 February 2011

Utilising the slogan 'Not Access. Not Lobbying.

The Conservative Intelligence team 'felt they were in a position to provide the best possible profiles, insights and policy analysis on the Conservative Party, it grew from there.' The claim is that this is not access or lobbying, yet intelligence on government is a fundamental element of lobbying.

Conservative Philosophy Group

The Conservative Philosophy Group was founded in 1975 by Jonathan Aitken, Hugh Fraser, Roger Scruton and John Casey. It met at Aitken's homes at 47 Phillimore Gardens in Kensington, West London 'Lady Aitken: Political hostess and loyal mother whose army of admirers spanned generations', The Times, 9 February 2005. and then at 8 Lord North Street in Westminster. Jonathan Aitken, Charles Colson: A Life Redeemed (Continuum International Publishing Group, 2006) p.373 The Group's three other founders had all supported Hugh Fraser in the 1975 Conservative Leadership Election (won by Margaret Thatcher). Jonathan Aitken recalls that:
Three youthful enthusiasts who had played an emanuensis role in helping Hugh Fraser to set out his stall were Roger Scruton (then a lecturer in philosophy at Birkbeck college), Dr John Casey (a Cambridge don), and myself. When drinking sorrowfully together in the aftermath of Fraser’s defeat we had talked hopefully about keeping his ideas alive. To do this we formed a supper club which we called the Conservative Philosophy Group. Jonathan Aitken, Heroes and contemporaries (Continuum International Publishing Group, 2006) p.131
Roger Scruton writes that its ‘first decision was to create a board of four members. John Casey and I were to search the intellectual world for conservatives; Hugh and Jonathan Aitken were to search the Conservative Party for members who could think.' Roger Scruton, Gentle regrets: thoughts from a life (Continuum International Publishing Group, 2006) p.45 According to John Casey:
There was an eclectic variety of speakers. A clutch of political philosophers and economists from the LSE were members, as well as philosophers and historians from Oxbridge. Over the years, papers were given by Friedrich Hayek, Milton Friedman, Michael Oakeshott, Elie Kedourie, the Archbishop of York (Habgood), Shirley Letwin, Peter Bauer, Hugh Trevor-Roper, Robert Blake, Edward Norman. Hugh Thomas, Maurice Cowling, Tony Quinton, T.E. Utley, Peregrine Worsthorne, Paul Johnson, Frank Johnson, Geoffrey Wheatcroft, Norman Stone, Charles Moore, Oliver Letwin, Noel Malcolm were members. So were very many of those who went on to serve in the Thatcher Cabinets, and some on the present Tory front-bench. Enoch Powell never missed a meeting. John Casey, 'The revival of Tory philosophy', The Spectator, 17 March 2007.
Jonathan Aitken writes that Thatcher 'pounced on a throwaway line' from Michael Oakeshott that 'de-nationalisation' should be called 'some thing more attractive like privatisation.' Jonathan Aitken, Heroes and contemporaries (Continuum International Publishing Group, 2006) p.131

Conservatives Against Apartheid

A pressure group set up by radical right wing Tories in 1988 and subsequently absorbed into the Scottish Young Conservatives.
:As 75,000 mostly white concert-goers made their way to Wembley Stadium, pro-South African propaganda touts mingled with the masses at the venue and underground railway stations handing out "souvenir issue" booklets entitled Nelson Mandela Speaks which purportedly came from the African National Congress - but the booklets were actually a clever smear on Mandela and the ANC.Hobart Mercury June 15, 1988 Wednesday BYLINE: FURNESS MARK
The Guardian reported in 1988:
:Remember those 'ANC' booklets handed out at the Wembley birthday festival? Entitled Nelson Mandela Speaks - although they turned out, of course, to be no such thing - and promptly denounced as a South African dirty trick? The source was, in fact, closer to home; they can be traced directly to the Conservative Party rather than the non-white propaganda unit in Pretoria. Stand up Stephen Morrison, newly appointed chairman of the Scottish Young Conservatives and a member of Edinburgh City Council. The booklet was distributed by his troops from Conservatives Against Apartheid, a pressure group which has now been absorbed into the Scottish YCs.The Guardian (London) June 17, 1988 Diary BYLINE: By ANDREW MONCUR
According to Brian Monteith:
:I once visited South Africa during the apartheid years. I had set up a protest group called Conservatives Against Apartheid and I wanted to see for myself what it was like. I found Mercedes Benz factories and Toyota factories churning out cars for the masses while, back in Blighty, British politicians were berating Mrs Thatcher for not backing sanctions. The reality was that apartheid - a collectivist system like any other in that it sought to control people - was on the verge of collapse. But it wasn't sanctions that were making the difference - it was free trade that was breaking down the barriers.Evening News (Edinburgh) July 27, 2001, Friday DON'T TAKE AWAY TRADE WITH CHINA BYLINE: Brian Monteith SECTION: Pg. 13
