Derek Fatchett, who died suddenly of a heart attack on 9 May 1999, was Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State at the Foreign Office, and had been MP for Leeds Central since 1983.
Derek worked first at the University’s Centre for Adult Education at Middlesbrough, successfully developing a large programme of day release courses for trade unionists in the steel industry.
At the time of his unexpected and tragic death, Derek was deeply engaged in the Balkan crisis and, as his obituaries indicated, was widely thought to be a likely future Cabinet Minister.

 UK offers mediation in Lanka conflict   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Fatchett, who is the first minister from the Labour government to visit Sri Lanka, said that as was the case in Northern Ireland where a US senator played a key constructive role in the peace process, `there may be scope for third party mediation' in Sri Lanka as well.
Fatchett denied his visit to Sri Lanka had anything to do with reviving the initiative but said the Fox agreement was an excellent ``foundation'' for the two parties to work together and that his government ``wish to see it implemented''.
Pointing out that consensus between the two main parties on all matters may be difficult, Fatchett clarified that the ``spirit'' behind the Fox initiative was to go forward on the points of agreement between the two sides and not be bogged down by the points of disagreement.
