Failure to win reelection in 2001?

[edit]

I am not sure what his meant here by the statement in the lead section "lowing his failure to win reelection in 2001, he became an author". This seems to imply that he contested and lost his seat at the 2001 United Kingdom general election, but this is not the case. Faber certainly did not stand in Westbury in 2001 and the Conservative Party held the seat. Indeed it says later in this article that "Faber stood down from parliament at the 2001 general election, to be succeeded by fellow Conservative Andrew Murrison". Equally from an online search I can see nothing to suggest that he was deselected or lost a contest to be the Conservative candidate. Thus the statement appears to be wrong.
