During this time he was Chairman of the Select Committee on Catering from 1979 until 1992 and a member of the All Party Mental Health Committee 1979-1992. Irving was knighted in 1990.Sir Charles was not afraid to stand up to the Prime Minister of the day, Margaret Thatcher, particularly over the decision to de-unionise Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) a body located within his Cheltenham constituency, but he was also a great admirer of hers; from the day she was elected leader of the Conservative Party until she resigned as Prime Minister fifteen years later, Irving paid to have fresh flowers delivered to her.According to Michael McManus's book on the history of Conservative attitudes to homosexuality, Irving was gay. Irving is reported to have offered a steady stream of advice to the Conservative Campaign for Homosexual Equality.".
