You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Peter George Beazley''' ((post-nominals|country=GBR|size=100%|CBE)) (9 June 1922 – 23 December 2004) was a British businessman and [[Conservative Party (UK)|Conservative Party]] politician who worked for [[Imperial Chemical Industries]] for over thirty years. He went on to serve for fifteen years as a [[Member of the European Parliament]] (MEP).

==Education and wartime career==
Beazley was educated at [[Highgate School]], and then went up to [[St John's College, Oxford]], where he read [[philosophy, politics and economics]]. In 1942, on leaving Oxford during the [[Second World War]], he joined the [[Rifle Brigade (Prince Consort's Own)|Rifle Brigade]], with whom he served in north Africa, [[Italy]] and [[Austria]]. He reached the rank of captain.

==ICI==
Demobilised in 1947, Beazley joined [[Imperial Chemical Industries]] (ICI) as a manager. In his early career with the company he was often stationed abroad: in [[Germany]] for seven years, and also in [[Portugal]], [[Belgium]] and [[South Africa]]. He was promoted to be a General Manager, a divisional board director and eventually Vice Chairman of the company. He was also a Managing Director of some of ICI's associated companies. Beazley learned to speak four foreign languages well, owing to his foreign travels. He was a Research Fellow of the [[Chatham House|Royal Institution of International Affairs]] in 1977–78.

==Conservative politics==
Beazley retired from ICI in 1978, having been selected as [[Conservative Party (UK)|Conservative Party]] candidate in [[Bedfordshire (European Parliament constituency)|Bedfordshire]] for the [[1979 European Parliament election in the United Kingdom|1979 European Parliament election]]. This constituency was considered a marginal before the election, for it included [[Labour Party (UK)|Labour]]-voting towns such as [[Luton]] and [[Bedford]] as well as [[Hemel Hempstead]]. However, with the help of a collapse in the Labour vote in the wake of that party's loss of the [[1979 United Kingdom general election|May 1979 general election]], Beazley won with a majority of 53,600.

==Member of the European Parliament==
Beazley concentrated on the [[European Community]]'s impact on business, trying to provide business with information on legislation and regulations being proposed in Brussels. In January 1981, he opposed a call for the [[Ireland national rugby union team]] to cancel a tour of [[apartheid]] South Africa, justifying his stance on the grounds that multiracial [[Rugby union|rugby]] was practised throughout South Africa. He was part of the Bureau of the [[European Democratic Group]], responsible for guiding the political leadership of the group, in 1982–83.

After boundary changes, Beazley was re-elected for [[Bedfordshire South (European Parliament constituency)|Bedfordshire South]] in the [[1984 European Parliament election in the United Kingdom|1984 European Parliament election]]. At the same election his son [[Christopher Beazley]] was elected as MEP for [[Cornwall and Plymouth (European Parliament constituency)|Cornwall and Plymouth]]. Peter Beazley was put on the powerful Economic and Monetary Affairs and Industrial Policy Committee, and served as vice-chairman from 1984 to 1989. At the [[1989 European Parliament election in the United Kingdom|1989 election]] his majority was cut to 2,977.

==Political views==
Beazley maintained his support for European integration when opinion within the Conservative Party [[Euroscepticism in the United Kingdom|began to grow sceptical]] in the early 1990s. He complained that those critical of European Community decision-making often forgot that the European Parliament scrutinised all legislation through committees, which could call experts to give evidence about their effects. Aged 70, he announced in 1993 that he would stand down at the next election; that year he received the [[Order of the British Empire|CBE]]. During his last few weeks in office, Beazley worked to stop a [[European Commission]] proposal to ban the sale of [[motorbike]]s with over 100 [[Horsepower#Brake horsepower|brake horsepower]].

==Retirement==
The former junior health minister [[Edwina Currie]] was selected to succeed him as Conservative candidate, but lost the seat to Labour in the [[1994 European Parliament election in the United Kingdom|1994 election]]. After the election Beazley ruefully observed "They told us it would be a doddle with Edwina".
