Sir Timothy Alan Davan Sainsbury (born 11 June 1932) is a politician and businessman in the United Kingdom.

Early and private life

He is the youngest son of Lord Sainsbury and his wife Doreen. His elder brothers are Lord Sainsbury of Preston Candover, a former Chairman of Sainsbury's, and the late Simon Sainsbury; Lord Sainsbury of Turville, a former Labour Minister for Science, is a cousin. His great-grandfather, John James Sainsbury, established a grocer's at 173 Drury Lane in 1869 which became the British supermarket chain Sainsbury's.

He was educated at Eton College and Worcester College, Oxford.

He has two daughters, Camilla (born 1962) and Jessica (born 1970) and two sons James (born 1962) and Alexander (born 1968). Camilla is married to Shaun Woodward (an MP who defected from the Tories to Labour). Jessica is married to Prince Peter de Frankopan Subic Zrinski.

Business career

His family owns at least 15% of the Sainsbury's supermarket chain. He was a member of the board from 1962 to 1983.

Politics career

He was Conservative Member of Parliament for Hove from 1973 to 1997, and served as a junior minister. Sir Tim is a Patron of the Tory Reform Group.

Charitable works

He and his two brothers funded an extension to the National Gallery at a cost of around £50 million, which opened in 1991 as the Sainsbury Wing.
