InfoDouglas Chapman fights the SNP’s corner in Dunfermline and West Fife and hopes to be returned as the first ever MP for this new constituency. Previously he was the SNP candidate for Dunfermline West for the Scottish Parliament elections in 1999, winning the SNP’s highest share of the vote in this constituency since the 1960s. Douglas won the Fife Council ward of Rosyth West and Dockyard in 1997, the first by-election loss to be suffered in Scotland by Tony Blair’s New Labour since the general election in the same year. He has been a member of Dunfermline West SNP since moving there in 1990 and has held several internal posts including Convener and Press Officer. Douglas lives in Dunfermline with his wife, son and daughter and for much of his working life has worked in business with TSB Scotland, Fife Enterprise and Gleneagles Hotel. He has also worked with two small businesses locally. He is currently Parliamentary Assistant to Bruce Crawford MSP who represents Mid-Scotland and Fife. Douglas has been active throughout the recent Queen Margaret Hospital campaign to ensure the City of Dunfermline retains its general hospital and will be the only candidate at this election to campaign for the return of consultant-led maternity services at the Queen Margaret for new mums in the Dunfermline and West Fife area.
