Not a lot on Spink on Wikipedia:
Quote:
He is opposed to abortion and wants to bring back capital punishment. He is against research into animal chimeras and refers to those involved in or supporting human bioengineering as "Dark forces".
On March 12, 2008, Spink announced to the UK House of Commons that he had resigned the Conservative Party Whip due to "criminal and other irregularities" in his constituency. This announcement was later rebutted by the party chief whip Patrick McLoughlin and they described the whip having been withdrawn from him. McLoughlin referred to a letter previously received from Spink, who had threatened to resign over an attempted reselection by his association This separates him from the Conservative group in Parliament. Ill-feeling against Spink in his association were assisted by a long-standing affair he had conducted with the partner of the association's deputy chairman.
He married Janet Barham; they have three sons and a daughter, but are now divorced.
