MP for Arundel and South Downs
Shadow Secretary of State for Business and Trade
“A party loyalist with Treasury and science-ministry experience, now shadowing the business and trade brief.”

He has held a number of ministerial roles in the Treasury and in the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology, and has served in various policy and committee positions; since November 2024 he is the Shadow Secretary of State for Business and Trade.
