Political career

He stood for Bishop Auckland at the 1979 general election, but was defeated by Labour's Derek Foster.

Against the national trend, Irvine was elected Member of Parliament (MP) for Ipswich at the 1987 general election, unseating the Labour incumbent Kenneth Weetch. At the subsequent 1992 general election, however, Irvine lost the seat back to Labour's Jamie Cann.
