Parliamentary career

McNulty was elected in the May 1997 General Election. He served as a Whip from 1999 to 2002, following a period as Parliamentary Private Secretary to David Blunkett. McNulty was then appointed Parliamentary Under Secretary to the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister with responsibility for neighbourhood renewal, housing and planning.

He was moved to the Department for Transport in June 2003 as Parliamentary Under Secretary with responsibility for aviation, local transport, and London, and was promoted to Minister of State with responsibility for Rail and London in September 2004. He played a significant role in the consultation and development of the White Paper entitled "The Future of Air Transport" whose recommendations, widely recognised as deeply flawed by the undue influence allowed to the BAA by the DfT in making its conclusions, have been ignored by the Government since then especially those to do with a third runway at Heathrow.

McNulty moved to the Home Office on 9 May 2005 as Minister of State for Immigration, following the general election reshuffle. In May 2006 his Home Office portfolio changed to responsibility over the policing and crime, security and counter-terrorism.(BBC). In July 2007, he became a Privy Councillor. In Gordon Brown's reshuffle on 3 October 2008 McNulty moved to become Minister of State for Employment and Welfare Reform at the Department for Work and Pensions and Minister for London, and although not a full member of the cabinet, he is now permitted to attend. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nemesis100 (talk • contribs) 12:06, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Tony McNulty passed laws against half English children of English mothers even though he is the son of an Irish immigrant. The laws he passed have eventually been used against such persons to prevent them from working even though have committed no crimes. It is another case of excesses done by Labour and turned me against a party that could do so much damage to people like me and others like me because of no priority given to those who were law abiding citizens and did not need to be treated in this fashion. I hope you understand the depth of damage you caused! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.24.17.21 (talk) 00:09, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
