Graham Charles Stuart[1] (born 12 March 1962) is a British Conservative Party politician who has served as the Member of Parliament for Beverley and Holderness since 2005. He previously served in various ministerial positions under Prime Ministers Theresa May, Boris Johnson, Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak between 2018 and 2024.
Born in Carlisle, Stuart attended Glenalmond College and later studied at Selwyn College, Cambridge. He was a member of Cambridge City Council from 1998 to 2004 for the Conservative Party, and unsuccessfully contested the Cambridge constituency in the 2001 general election. He was elected to Parliament in 2005 general election for the constituency Beverley and Holderness, and was reelected in the 2010 general election. On the backbenches, Stuart was the Chair of the Education Select Committee from 2010 to 2015. He was reelected in both the 2015 and 2017 general elections. He joined the government in 2018 as Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Exports under Prime Minister Theresa May, and was reappointed to the position under Boris Johnson in 2019. He was reelected in the 2019 general election, and later returned to the backbenches after being dismissed by Johnson in 2021.
Stuart returned to the government as Minister of State for Europe following the July 2022 government crisis under Johnson. After Liz Truss became Prime Minister in September 2022, Stuart was appointed to a cabinet attending position as Minister of State for Climate. Following the appointment of Rishi Sunak as Prime Minister the following month, Stuart was reappointed to the position with the additional portfolio of Energy but was removed from cabinet. The portfolio was retitled to Energy Security and Net Zero in the February 2023 British cabinet reshuffle, before Stuart stood down from the position in April 2024. He was reelected in the 2024 general election with a reduced majority.
