Lord Hill, 53, until last week the Leader of the House of Lords, has been nominated as the next British Commissioner.
He has held middle ranking ministerial posts in the current government. In the 1990's he was a Special Advisor to (amongst others) Kenneth Clarke; he briefly worked for the Prime Minster John Major, before leaving to set up his own Public Affairs Business.
OpenEurope argue he is a sceptic; BritishInfluence say he is a potential reformer. All agree he is a surprising choice. An interview with Paul Waugh in February reveals more of his background and political posture.
