John Robert Lamont (born 15 April 1976) is a Scottish Conservative Party politician, and has served as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Berwickshire, Roxburgh and Selkirk since 8 June 2017.

He was formerly the Member of the Scottish Parliament for Ettrick, Roxburgh and Berwickshire between 2007-2017 and won the predecessor seat of Roxburgh and Berwickshire in May 2007 and won the newly constituted seat with an increased majority. Lamont was formerly the Scottish Conservative Chief Whip and Parliamentary Business Manager.[1]

Early life

John Lamont was born on 15 April 1976 in Kilwinning to Robert and Elizabeth Lamont.[2] He was educated at Kilwinning Academy and studied at the School of Law of the University of Glasgow where he gained a first class honours degree. He worked as a solicitor at Freshfields in London and then at Brodies in Edinburgh.[2]

Political career

In 2002, Lamont stood as the Conservative Party candidate in the London Borough of Lambeth in the Brixton Coldharbour ward where he finished in tenth place with 8.5% of the vote.

As well as becoming involved in local politics, he became the Chairman of his local Conservative association and was the Conservative Party candidate for Berwickshire, Roxburgh and Selkirk at the 2005, 2010 and 2015 general elections.[2]

Lamont announced his intention to stand down from this Holyrood seat effective 4 May 2017 to stand at the 2017 snap election for the Berwickshire, Roxburgh and Selkirk seat. As a constituency MSP, Lamont's resignation triggered a by-election in the constituency, which was won by Rachael Hamilton of the Scottish Conservatives.

In June 2017, he was elected Member of Parliament for Berwickshire, Roxburgh and Selkirk, with a large majority of over 11,000 votes; which makes the constituency the safest Conservative seat in Scotland.

Lamont was the fastest of 15 MPs in the 2018 London Marathon at 3:38:03.[3] A fan of running, cycling and swimming, he has completed an ironman triathlon.{{cn|date=February 2019}}

Whilst in London, Lamont shares a flat with Douglas Ross, the Member of Parliament for Moray.{{cn|date=February 2019}}
