He is the Member of Parliament (MP) for Hertford and Stortford, and was the Minister of State for Housing and Local Government from 2012-2013 until he was removed in the October 2013 reshuffle.[2] He earlier served on the opposition frontbench as Shadow Minister for Business and Enterprise.[3] Early lifePrisk was born at Redruth and whilst living at Camborne was educated at Truro School in 1973-80. He went on to study Land Management at the University of Reading, gaining a BSc degree. From 1983 to 1985, he was Chairman of the Youth Section of Peace through NATO. He was vice-chairman of the Federation of Conservative Students in 1982-83. After graduation he worked in property and economic development, rising to become director of a £3 million practice. From 1983 to 1985, he worked as a graduate surveyor for Knight Frank, then as development surveyor for Derrick Wade & Waters where he became manager of the London office from 1985 to 1989. He was a marketing director from 1989–91, then principal of the Mark Prisk Connection from 1991 to 1997. From 1997 to 2001, he was company owner of MP2. Parliamentary careerHe was a former Chairman of Cornwall Young Conservatives and after two unsuccessful parliamentary battles in 1992 (Newham North West) and 1997 (Wansdyke), he was finally elected as the Conservative MP for the constituency of Hertford and Stortford in 2001. He has been promoted from the backbenches to serve at various points as Shadow Financial Secretary, Shadow Minister for Economic Affairs, an opposition whip and Shadow Minister for Business and Enterprise. He is author of several pamphlets on urban design. Shadow Minister for CornwallOn 26 July 2007, David Cameron then Leader of the Opposition appointed Mark Prisk as Shadow Minister for Cornwall, although there was no government post of Minister for Cornwall for the opposition to formally shadow. The party said that the move was intended to help place the county's concerns "at the heart of Conservative thinking". Conservative Party leader David Cameron said he wholeheartedly endorsed the appointment and it would ensure that the voice of Cornwall was heard.[4] The post was discontinued following the 2010 general election, and there remains no "minister for Cornwall" or "Shadow Minister for Cornwall". Liberal Democrat MP Matthew Taylor accused the Conservative Party of using the appointment in a bid to get around the rule that requires MPs to limit the local cases they take up to their own constituency, by claiming that party political activity by MPs outside their own constituencies was in the role of "Shadow Minister" for the areas concerned, despite there being no actual Minister to shadow.[5]Mark Prisk defended his role as Shadow Minister for Cornwall in open letter to the Falmouth Packet dated Wednesday 28 November 2007. He noted that, "as a born and bred Cornishman", his role is to listen to the concerns of people in Cornwall, to feed these back to the Shadow Cabinet, and to make sure that Conservative policies properly reflect the needs of Cornwall.[6] BrexitPrisk campaigned to remain in the European Union in the lead-up to the 2016 referendum on Britain's membership,[7] but now claims to support Britain's withdrawal and Prime Minister Theresa May's 12 point plan. His Constituency by a small majority voted to Leave.[8] In GovernmentPrisk was appointed as the minister for Business and Enterprise in the Coalition government, until he was shifted to become the Housing minister on 5 September 2012.[9] As Minister for Housing, Prisk was responsible for creating a "Future High Street Forum" to support struggling High Street retailers, but was asked to step down from the front benches in 2013, which he claimed was to make way for a younger generation when in fact his replacement was older.[10] Personal lifeHe married Lesley Titcomb, CEO at The Pensions Regulator, in April 1989 in Oxfordshire.{{citation needed|date=June 2017}} References1. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/politics/constituencies/E14000744|title=Hertford & Stortford|work=bbc.co.uk|accessdate=9 May 2016}} 2. ^{{cite news| url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/10360141/MPs-reshuffle-live.html | location=London | work=The Daily Telegraph | first=Will | last=Heaven | title=MPs' reshuffle: as it happened | date=7 October 2013}} 3. ^People - Mark Prisk Conservative Party website 4. ^{{cite av media|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIAarTqZsaU|title=Mark Prisk appointed Shadow Minister for Cornwall|date=24 July 2007|publisher=|accessdate=9 May 2016|via=YouTube}} 5. ^{{cite news | url= http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/7948984.stm | work= BBC News | title= 'Fictional Minister' Prompts Row | accessdate= 12 February 2010 | date=17 March 2009}} 6. ^Mid Devon Star 28 November 2007{{dead link|date=June 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} 7. ^{{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}} 8. ^https://www.markprisk.com/campaigns/brexit-and-britains-future 9. ^{{cite news|last1=Kelly|first1=Liam|title=Mark Prisk replaces Grant Shapps as housing minister – what should his priorities be?|url=https://www.theguardian.com/housing-network/2012/sep/05/mark-prisk-housing-minister-priorities|accessdate=29 March 2015|publisher=Guardian|date=5 September 2012}} 10. ^{{cite news|last1=Neville|first1=Simon|title=Protests as PM sacks Mark Prisk, Minister for High Streets|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/protests-as-pm-sacks-mark-prisk-minister-for-high-streets-8865157.html|accessdate=29 March 2015|publisher=Independent|date=8 October 2013}} External links
