GRAHAM STUART
MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT FOR BEVERLEY AND HOLDERNESS

Graham was born in Carlisle in 1962 and read Philosophy then Law at Selwyn College, Cambridge. He was first elected MP for Beverley and Holderness in 2005 and in 2010 increased his majority to 12,987.

Graham has campaigned successfully for a halving of the Humber Bridge tolls, the upgrade of the A164, and funding for the Beverley ring-road. He also led a winning team against a proposal to build a waste incinerator at Saltend.

In 2012 Graham led constituents and fellow MPs to secure thousands of names on a petition against the introduction of VAT on the sale of static caravans. Following this the Government scrapped its original proposal in favour of a 5% tax.

Graham established the Rural Fair Share campaign to encourage the Government to address the disparity in funding between rural and urban areas. He is also working to improve local ambulance response times.

Graham was elected Chairman of the Education Select Committee in 2010.
