}}Jeremy John Elton Lefroy[2] (born 30 May 1959)[3]

is a British Conservative Party politician. He was first elected as the Member of Parliament for the Stafford constituency at the 2010 general election.

Early life and career

Lefroy was educated at Highgate School,[4] an independent school in Highgate in North London, followed by King's College, Cambridge.

Lefroy lived and worked in the coffee industry in Tanzania between 1989-2000.[5] He is a qualified chartered accountant.[5]

He also founded and runs Equity for Africa, a charitable trust which seeks to alleviate poverty in a self-sustaining way by creating jobs through investing in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Africa.

Lefroy was one of the three Conservative Councillors for the Westlands ward of Newcastle-under-Lyme Council. Since a Conservative-led joint administration with the Liberal Democrats took control from Labour in May 2006, he served as the Portfolio holder for Finance and Efficiency in the Borough.

Lefroy was the official Conservative Party candidate for Newcastle-under-Lyme at the 2005 general election, losing to the sitting Labour MP, Paul Farrelly. He polled 9,945 votes, which is a decrease from the 10,664 votes that the Conservatives recorded at the previous General Election; representing a fall in the Conservative share of the vote from 26.7% to 25%, although this did also represent a 2.7% swing from Labour to the Conservatives, as Labour lost vote share at an even faster rate.

Parliamentary career

Lefroy was first elected as MP for Stafford in 2010 with a majority of 5,460[6] and was re-elected in the 2015 general election with an increased majority of 9,177 votes.[7]

In Parliament, he served on the Select Committee for International Development.[8]

Lefroy has described himself as a "One Nation Tory".[9]

Lefroy advocated a "Remain" vote for the 2016 EU referendum.[10]

In 2013, Lefroy was elected chair of The Parliamentary Network on the World Bank & International Monetary Fund.

Personal life

Lefroy has been married to Janet, a GP and lecturer at Keele University Medical School, since 1985. The couple have two children, who both went to school, in Newcastle-under-Lyme.

He is a member of the Conservative Christian Fellowship.[11]
