She has been the Minister of State for Digital and the Creative Industries since 9 January 2018. Early lifeThe younger daughter of a self-made businessman, James was born in Coventry.[2] Educated privately in Leamington Spa, she was in the sixth form at Millfield School.[3] James is a graduate of the London School of Economics (LSE) with a degree in Economics and Government. Professional careerJames worked in sales and marketing for her father's business, Maurice James Industries (MJI), a haulage, waste management, and property group based around Birmingham. After working for a consulting firm, in 1986 she co-founded Shire Health Group, a public relations and clinical trials organisation. Shire Health was voted "Consultancy of the Year" three times, while James was voted Communicator of the Year in 1997. The company was sold to WPP Group in 2004, with James appointed Head of European Healthcare for WPP subsidiary Ogilvy & Mather.[3] Political careerJames joined the Conservative Party aged 17, and chaired the LSE Conservative Association.[2] During her studies, she acted as a researcher for MP Sir Anthony Durant, and after graduation spent a gap year working in the press office of Conservative Central Office.[2] James resigned from the Conservative Party after Margaret Thatcher was ousted as Prime Minister. She rejoined the Conservative Party in 2004.[3] At the May 2005 general election, she was the Conservative candidate for the Holborn and St. Pancras constituency.[4] She came third behind the sitting MP, Labour's Frank Dobson, and the Liberal Democrat candidate Jill Fraser. In May 2006, James was elected a local councillor for the Brompton ward of Kensington & Chelsea,[5] becoming one of the Conservative Party's few "out" lesbian office holders.[6] She resigned from the council in 2008. James was placed on the "A-List" of Conservative Party parliamentary candidates ahead of the 2010 general election,[7] and was selected as the candidate for the marginal Labour-held constituency of Stourbridge, from where she was elected. This made her the first openly lesbian MP in the Conservative Party,[8] second "out" lesbian in the House of Commons, after Angela Eagle, and the first to have come out before her election.[6] In her maiden speech she paid tribute to Stourbridge's history of glass making.[9] In January 2016, the Labour Party unsuccessfully proposed an amendment in Parliament that would have required private landlords to make their homes "fit for human habitation". According to Parliament's register of interests, James was one of 72 Conservative MPs who voted against the amendment who personally derived an income from renting out property. The Conservative Government had responded to the amendment that they believed homes should be fit for human habitation but did not want to pass the new law that would explicitly require it.[10][11] James was opposed to leaving the European Union prior to the 2016 referendum.[12] She was the Parliamentary Private Secretary to Stephen Green, Baron Green of Hurstpierpoint during his period as Minister for Trade and Investment. Other activitiesJames served on the board of Parkside NHS Trust, and worked as a Mental Health Manager. She spent ten years as a trustee of Abantu, an African women's charity, during which time she trained women from more than 40 different African countries in communications and lobbying skills. She has also worked as a mentor for The Prince's Trust and Young Enterprise.[2] She sits on the Court of Governors at LSE. She is a Vice-President of the Debating Group.[13] Personal lifeJames lives in South Kensington, London with her partner, Jay Hunt, previously a producer and presenter with the BBC and now managing director of a video production company, Violet Productions. She ranked in the top 50 on The Independent's "Pink List" of the 101 most influential British gay men and women in 2009.[14] References1. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.dellam.com/03988519-VIOLET-PRODUCTIONS-LIMITED.html |title=Violet Productions Limited |publisher=Dellam Corporate Information |date=16 July 2012 |accessdate=21 November 2012}} 2. ^1 2 3 {{cite web|url=http://www.margotjames.com/about|title=Margot James – About|publisher=Margot James|accessdate=15 July 2009}} 3. ^{{cite web|last=Farey |first=Daniel |url=http://www.prweek.com/article/220937/wpp-merges-divisions-form-ogilvy-healthworld |title=WPP merges divisions to form Ogilvy Healthworld |publisher=PR Week |date=3 September 2004 |accessdate=5 December 2013}} 4. ^1 2 {{cite news| last = Saner | first = Emine |url=http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/article-9473424-details/I+can%27t+be+%27outed%27/article.do|archive-url=https://archive.is/20130505124250/http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/article-9473424-details/I+can't+be+'outed'/article.do|dead-url=yes|archive-date=5 May 2013|title=I can't be 'outed'|work=London Evening Standard|date=4 March 2004|accessdate=15 July 2009}} 5. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.rbkc.gov.uk/councilanddemocracy/localdemocracyandelections/electionresultsarchive/localelectionsmay2006/brompton.aspx |title=Brompton ward: local election results |publisher=Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea |date=4 May 2006 |accessdate=21 November 2012}} 6. ^1 {{cite news | last = Hoggard | first = Liz | title = Cameron's girl| url = https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2006/jan/22/interviews.conservatives | work = The Guardian | date = 22 January 2006 | access-date = 29 June 2013}} 7. ^{{cite web | title = Who is on the A-list? | url = http://conservativehome.blogs.com/goldlist/2006/05/as_promised_thi.html | publisher = ConservativeHome | date = May 2006 | access-date = 2 July 2009}} 8. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.pinknews.co.uk/2010/05/07/margot-james-becomes-the-second-out-lesbian-in-parliament/|title=Margot James becomes the second out lesbian in parliament|last=Staff writer|date=7 May 2010|work=Pink News|access-date=29 June 2013}} 9. ^{{cite hansard|house=House of Commons|url=https://hansard.parliament.uk/Commons/2010-06-07/debates/1006079000001/ConstitutionAndHomeAffairs#contribution-10060714000055 |date=7 June 2010 |column_start=60|column_end=62 |title= Constitution and Home Affairs|speaker=Margot James |position=MP for Stourbridge}} 10. ^{{cite news|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/tories-vote-down-law-requiring-landlords-make-their-homes-fit-for-human-habitation-a6809691.html|title=Tories vote down law requiring landlords make their homes fit for human habitation|first=Jon|last=Stone|newspaper=The Independent|date=13 January 2016 |accessdate=1 March 2018}} 11. ^{{Cite news|url=https://fullfact.org/economy/did-mps-vote-against-homes-having-be-made-fit-live-in/|title=Did MPs vote against forcing homes to be made fit to live in?|work=Full Fact|access-date=2018-09-14}} 12. ^{{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}} 13. ^{{cite web|url=http://debatinggroup.org.uk |title=Debating Group |publisher=Debating Group |date= |accessdate=5 December 2013}} 14. ^{{cite news | last = Tuck | first = Andrew | title = Gay Power: The Pink List 2009 | url = https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/this-britain/gay-power-the-pink-list-406297.html | work = The Independent | date = 2 July 2009 | access-date = 2 July 2009}} External links
