'''Norman Lamont''' is a [[British]] Conservative politician, most famous for his role as Chancellor of the Exchequer from 1990 to 1993. Lamont, as Chief Secretary to the Treasury, ran [[John Major]]'s campaign for the party leadership in 1990, and was subsequently promoted to Chancellor. Lamont's credibility was heavily damaged by the events of Black Wednesday, and by a series of quotes ("Singing in the bath" at leaving the ERM, and "Green shoots of recovery".). He was removed as Chancellor in a reshuffle in 1993, after being offered the position of Enviroment Secretary, which he turned down. He was replaced by [[Ken Clarke]].
