Despite holding very strong Thatcherite views, such as being anti-trade union, pro-free market, pro-capital punishment, pro-corporal punishment and anti-immigration (he also supported the freedom to smoke, the right of people to sell their organs and Welsh as a national language), he was not rapidly promoted. A mid-1980s libel case with the BBC almost certainly slowed down his progress but, after winning it, he was appointed a Parliamentary Private Secretary to David Mitchell in December 1986. He was also one of 10 MPs to vote against the government on an EEC bill in April 1986.

Wins BBC libel case

Neil Hamilton and fellow MP Gerald Howarth, also one of his closest friends, successfully sued the BBC for libel in October 1986 after a Panorama programme, "Maggie's Militant Tendency", broadcast on January 30, 1984, stated that the MPs had links with far-right groups in Europe and in the UK. The two MPs' case, financed by Sir James Goldsmith, succeeded when the BBC withdrew, and the plaintiffs were awarded damages £20,000 each. During the court case, Hamilton described himself as the "The Mike Yarwood of the Tory Right"^[2] and said that he frequently sent up public figures such as Frankie Howerd, Edward Heath and Enoch Powell. Hamilton did an impression of Hitler whilst in the defence box and said that when Freddie Starr impersonates Hitler, no-one suggests that he is a fascist. He also produced a photograph of Robert Runcie dressed as a Nazi from his autobiography, which was taken in Germany at the end of the war. Hamilton asked the court whether the BBC was suggesting the head of the Anglican church was also a Nazi.

The BBC had to pay the pair's legal costs and gave them a broadcast unreserved apology. The programme had alleged (not admitted as evidence in court, but Hamilton effectively confessed in The Sunday Times), that he gave a Nazi salute in Berlin while 'messing around' on a Parliamentary visit in August 1983.[5] The Sunday Times is a Sunday broadsheet newspaper distributed in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland, published by Times Newspapers Ltd, a subsidiary of News International which is in turn owned by News Corporation. ...

Hamilton vehemently urged Thatcher to fight on to a second ballot in November 1990 during the leadership contest and was devastated when she resigned. Hamilton had initially leaned towards voting for Michael Heseltine, as had a few other Right-wingers, because they took the view that "Heseltine had stabbed Thatcher in the front". Hamilton eventually voted for John Major, (though Norman Tebbit had to persuade him to do so as he and Christopher Chope (a close friend) were going to write "Thatcher" on their ballot papers as a protest^[4].

Hamilton was the minister for deregulation and corporate affairs from April 1992 to October 1994 in John Major's government. Despite being a staunch Thatcherite, he was loyal to Major's government, persuading several right-wingers not to resign over various issues. He remained loyal even after his resignation in October 1994, although he voted for John Redwood in the 1995 leadership contest. Hamilton was bitterly disappointed when Michael Portillo did not challenge Major for the leadership, as he believed he was a far more saleable commodity than Redwood and if he had, he would have obtained more votes, forcing Major to resign.

Cash for Questions scandal

On October 20, 1994, The Guardian published an article claiming that Hamilton, and another minister, Tim Smith, had received money, paid in the form of cash in brown envelopes, from Harrods' owner Mohamed Al-Fayed, for asking questions on his behalf in the House of Commons. The subsequent furor became known as the "Cash-for-questions affair". Smith admitted his guilt and resigned immediately.

It gained Royal Assent in July 1996. However, on 30 September 1996, a day before the libel trial was due to begin, a conflict of interest arose and both men dropped the trial as they said they could not afford to continue.

During the election of 1997, Hamilton, still claiming his innocence, was determined to hold on to his parliamentary seat in what was then the fourth safest Conservative seat in the country. Conservative Central Office said that selection of candidates was purely a matter for the local party and refused to intervene.

Hamilton was found guilty, along with Tim Smith, by Sir Gordon Downey on 3 July 1997. Both Hamilton and Smith were severely criticised in the report, along with Michael Brown and Michael Grylls. The recommendation was that if Hamilton and Smith were still MPs they both would have been given a substantial suspension from the House of Commons for their behaviour. Downey said that that evidence that Hamilton took cash from Al-Fayed for asking questions was "compelling" and that he was unlikely to have taken less than £25,000. Hamilton rejected these findings. He launched an appeal on 14 October and appealed to a new committee, which on 6 November only partially endorsed Sir Gordon Downey's findings, but still criticised his behaviour whilst an MP. is the 184th day of the year (185th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

After the scandal

Hamilton's career took an unusual turn in May 1997 when he and Christine appeared on the current affairs satire quiz Have I Got News For You a week after Neil lost his Tatton seat. Angus Deayton, the chairman of the panel game, wore a white suit instead of his usual brown one, in reference to Martin Bell, who wore such a suit throughout his election campaign (he had just unseated Neil).

Despite being the subject of numerous taunts about the scandal, including being given their "fee" in brown envelopes at the end of the show, the Hamiltons managed to come through the experience well. At one point Hamilton quipped, "I've found it's much better making political jokes than being one," and many felt that both Hamiltons had shown strong potential. Since then they have often appeared on chat shows. Christine's TV career has taken off more strongly than Neil's, but even he has been a panelist on a few game shows and has appeared on programmes such as The Weakest Link. The couple appeared together on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? and in pantomime.
