David Hencke | David Hencke joined The Guardian in 1981 and has been their Westminster Correspondent since 1986. He is the recipient of numerous journalism awards, including three-time ‘Reporter of the Year’ at the British Press Awards. He won the What the Papers Say ‘Scoop of the Year Award’ for his ‘Peter Mandelson Home Loan’ story. His revelation that Neil Hamilton was paid to ask questions in Parliament by Muhammed Al-Fayed ended with Hamilton’s resignation as a Minister. Mandelson and Hamilton are two of the ‘many scalps hanging from his belt’ that Andrew Marr said of Hencke in his book My Trade: A Short History of British Journalism, in which Marr also wrote: ‘If you find a reporter who seems to know the score, particularly in an area you know about, cherish him or her. In the trade, we generally know who is good… If you want investigative journalism that covers Whitehall, never miss David Hencke.’ David Hencke is the author of Colleges in Crisis (Penguin, 1976), and co-author with Francis Beckett of The Blairs and Their Court (Aurum, 2004). He is currently writing with Francis Beckett Marching to the Fault Line: The Miners’ Strike 1984-1985 for Constable & Robinson.
