Since 1997 he has been Member of Parliament (MP) for South West Devon, having previously been the Member of Parliament for Plymouth Sutton between 1992 and 1997. He was re-elected as MP in 2017.[2] Early lifeStreeter attended Tiverton Grammar School, Tiverton, Devon, where he was Head Boy from 1972 to 1973, then King's College London, where he gained a first class honours Law degree. From 1984–98, he was a solicitor and partner at Foot and Bowden (now called Foot Anstey) in Plymouth, where he specialised in company and employment law. He was a councillor, initially for the Social Democratic Party (SDP), on Plymouth City Council from 1986–92. Parliamentary careerStreeter served as a junior minister in the Lord Chancellor's Department under John Major from 1996 until the defeat of the Major Government in 1997, and was Shadow Secretary of State for International Development in the Shadow Cabinet of William Hague[3] from 1998 until the new Conservative leader Iain Duncan Smith returned him to the backbenches in 2001. He is currently a member of the Speaker's Committee on the Electoral Commission and is the member of the committee responsible for answering oral questions in Parliament on behalf of the Electoral Commission. He assumed the role after Sir Peter Viggers stepped down during the MPs' expenses scandal. His own expenses for 2008/09 were £162,719, ranking 158th out of 647 MPs. In March 2012, Streeter was one of three MPs who signed a letter to the Advertising Standards Authority asking it to reverse its decision to stop the Christian group "Healing on the Streets of Bath" from making explicit claims that prayer can heal. The letter called for the ASA to provide "indisputable scientific evidence" that faith healing did not work. Another signer, Tim Farron of the Liberal Democrats later wrote that the letter was not "well-worded" and that he should not have signed it "as it was written".[4] In 2013, Streeter referred to the "familiar glint in the swivelled eyes of the purists" within his own party in an article attacking the divisions caused by those activists who were calling for a referendum on EU membership.[5] The remark followed allegations that senior members of the government had characterised Eurosceptic activists as "swivel-eyed loons". Streeter argued that the result of party infighting over the issue would be "a Labour-led government bend[ing] the knee to Brussels".[5] Streeter was opposed to Brexit prior to the 2016 referendum.[6] In November 2018, Steeter announced his support for Theresa May's Brexit agreement.[7] In December 2018, it was announced that Steeter would receive a knighthood in the 2019 New Year Honours List. Steeter told the Press Association that he hoped his honour reflected, in part, his work over the past decade as chairman of the all-party group on Christians in Parliament and supporting new MPs once they had arrived at Westminster.[8] Personal lifeHe married Janet Stevens in 1978 in Barnstaple; the couple have a son and daughter, and the family live near Plympton in Devon. He is a committed Christian who believes in faith healing.[9] In the 2015 general election, his son Gareth Streeter stood as the Conservative candidate for the constituency of Rother Valley in South Yorkshire.{{citation needed|date=June 2017}} He came in third place behind the incumbent MP Sir Kevin Barron and runner up Cllr Allen Cowles of UKIP.{{citation needed|date=June 2017}} References1. ^{{cite news |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/politics/constituencies/E14000950 |title=South West Devon results 2015 |date=8 May 2015 |publisher=BBC News Online |accessdate=2 October 2015 }} 2. ^{{Cite news|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/politics/constituencies/E14000950|title=Devon South West parliamentary constituency - Election 2017|work=BBC News|access-date=2018-12-30|language=en-GB}} 3. ^{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/vote2001/hi/english/key_people/newsid_1179000/1179344.stm |title=Gary Streeter: Development spokesman |first=Chris |last=Hamilton |work=BBC News Online |date=20 March 2001 |accessdate=3 October 2015 }} 4. ^{{Cite news |url=http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2012/03/29/tim-farron-prayer-can-heal-letter-was-a-mistake_n_1387187.html |work=Huffington Post UK |title=Tim Farron: 'Prayer can heal' letter was a mistake |accessdate=30 March 2012 |date=29 March 2012}} 5. ^1 {{cite news |last=Wright |first=Oliver |title=Jeremy Paxman reveals he has heard senior Tories calling activists 'swivel-eyed loons' |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/jeremy-paxman-reveals-he-has-heard-senior-tories-calling-activists-swiveleyed-loons-8625324.html |accessdate=7 April 2015 |work=The Independent |date=21 May 2013 }} 6. ^{{cite news|last1=Goodenough|first1=Tom|title=Which Tory MPs back Brexit, who doesn’t and who is still on the fence?|url=http://blogs.spectator.co.uk/2016/02/which-tory-mps-back-brexit-who-doesnt-and-who-is-still-on-the-fence/|accessdate=11 October 2016|work=The Spectator|date=16 February 2016}} 7. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.premier.org.uk/News/UK/Christian-MPs-react-to-Theresa-May-s-Brexit-plans|title=Christian MPs react to Theresa May's Brexit plans|last=Premier|first=|date=15 November 2018|website=Premier|language=en-GB|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=2018-12-30}} 8. ^{{Cite news|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-46700430|title=Redwood knighted for service to politics|date=2018-12-28|work=BBC News|access-date=2018-12-30|language=en-GB}} 9. ^{{cite web |last=Robbins |first=Martin |url=https://www.theguardian.com/science/the-lay-scientist/2012/mar/26/1 |title=Hapless MPs defend faith healers |work=The Guardian |date=26 March 2012 |accessdate=4 May 2012 }} External links{{Commons category}}
