LABOUR MP Jack Dromey died suddenly at his flat this morning aged 73, his family has announced.
The serving shadow minister and MP for Birmingham Erdington leaves behind his wife Harriet Harman and three children.
A statement issued on behalf of the family said: “Jack Dromey MP died suddenly this morning aged 73 in his flat in Erdington.
“He had been a dedicated Member of Parliament for Birmingham Erdington since 2010.
“He was a much loved husband, father and grandfather, and he will be greatly missed.”
His wife Ms Harman, who he married in 1982, is also a Labour MP and was previously deputy leader of the party.
