Surgery Tel: 01793 533393
MP Since - 2010 Majority - 3,544 Born - 1968, Llanelli, Married (Sian), 2 children (twins - Millicent and George).
Education - Old Road County Primary School, Llanelli, St Michael's School, Bryn, Hatfield College, Durham University (BA Hons Law), Inns of Court School of Law.
Previous Occupation - Barrister (criminal law). Called to Bar, Inner Temple (1991). Member, Iscoed Chambers, Swansea (1992-99), 30 Park Place Chambers, Cardiff (1999-2007), Apex Chambers, Cardiff (2007-). Recorder, Midland Circuit (2009-10).
Personal Overview - His professional background as a barrister is likely to place him well for his new Parliamentary duties as an MP. He has extensive political campaigning experience and some as an elected representative having served a term as a Dyfed County Councillor. His 2005 campaign for his present seat successfully cut away 6,000 votes out of the previous Labour majority of 7,300, though he did have the advantage of not facing an incumbent MP in the wake of Julia Drown's decision to stand down following her disillusionment over the anemic role of the modern Commons backbencher. He has a wide range of political interests across the major themes of current political discourse, his only potential friction with the mainstream of the Conservative Parliamentary Party is with his pro-European stance.
Political History - Parliamentary Agent, Llanelli Conservatives (1987), Chairman, Llanelli Conservative Association (1993-96), Chairman, South West Wales Conservatives (1998-2000), Dyfed County Councillor (1993-96), European Parliament Candidate, South West Wales (1994), Wales Region (1999), Parliamentary Candidate, Islwyn by-election (1995), Preseli Pembrokeshire (1997), Swindon South (2005), Member for Swindon South (2010-). Member of the Justice Select Committee (2010-13). Member of the Statutory Instruments Select Committee (2010-). Member of the Joint Committee on Statutory Instruments (2010-). Member of the Joint Committee on Consolidation Bills (2010-). Member of the Standards & Privileges Select Committee (2012-).
