Abdul Kalam

[edit]

I have removed former President of India Abdul Kalam from the alumni section of this article despite there being a citation. The source does not appear that reliable, even though they are the words no less of Prinipal Rick Trainor, however I believe that he is most probably refering to Kalam as an alumnus in an honorary sense. See here. I could not find much on google to substantiate claims that he was at KCL. If anyone can find a reliable citation then of course by all means add him back.

Current MPs in the Commons and Lords

[edit]

assuming alumni includes "nineteen members of the current House of Commons, and seventeen members of the current House of Lords" is probably incorrect now. cannot find a list of universities that MPs went to. Barsho0 (talk) 00:08, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Probably the best thing to do is to go down the list of current MPs at List of alumni of King's College London and check which ones are still in there. It looks like the only new MP from 2024 is Jeevun Sandher (at least, that's the only one King's have put out a news release about that I've been able to find: King's alumnus wins seat at UK general election).
