Sir Simon Henry Milton (2 October 1961 – 11 April 2011) was a British Conservative politician.[1] He lately served as London's Deputy Mayor for Policy and Planning, and before that was a leader of Westminster City Council and Chairman of the Local Government Association. Milton was a director of Ian Greer Associates, a parliamentary lobbying company "with close links to the Tory party" which was at the centre of the "cash-for-questions" scandal in the 1990s.[2][3][4]
