He is the Member of Parliament (MP) for the constituency of Brecon and Radnorshire after winning the seat in the 2015 general election.[2] In March 2019, he pleaded guilty to two charges of expenses fraud.[3] Early life and careerDavies attended Morriston School in Wales.[4] He worked as a rural auctioneer and estate agent, before managing a large veterinary practice in Hay-on-Wye. He is a regular main ring commentator at the Royal Welsh Show.[5][6] Political careerDavies was the Conservative candidate for Brecon and Radnorshire at the 2011 Welsh Assembly election.[5] He was elected to Powys County Council in 2012, representing Glasbury ward.[7] He was first elected to the UK Parliament as MP for Brecon and Radnorshire at the 2015 general election, defeating the incumbent Liberal Democrat Roger Williams. He was re-elected with an increased majority at the 2017 election. During the 2017 election campaign, Davies was ordered to repay the cost of 7,500 House of Commons envelopes, costing £5,037.90, which he used to send surveys to his constituents, a week after the decision was taken to dissolve Parliament ahead of the general election. The Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority ruled that Davies “could reasonably have foreseen that responses to the survey would not arrive in time for him to make use of them for parliamentary purposes”, and the content of the letter was “likely to be read as party political". Davies apologised and agreed to repay the costs.[8] Davies is a lifelong Eurosceptic and a member of the European Research Group. In February 2019 Davies indicated that he was a reluctant supporter of Theresa May’s EU withdrawal deal, explaining that he voted to endorse the government's strategy, as a no deal Brexit remained "very much on the table".[9][10] He is a member of the Welsh Affairs Select Committee, and in 2018 was appointed Parliamentary Private Secretary to Stuart Andrew and Nick Bourne in the Wales Office.[11] Expenses fraudIn April 2018, the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority – which oversees MPs' expenses – referred Davies to the Metropolitan Police "in relation to an allegation of fraudulent expense claims submitted by an individual". Davies said he made an "honest mistake" in the expenses form he submitted for photographs at his Builth Wells constituency office. Accused of manually creating two invoices for £450 and £250 rather than submitting the full £700 claim for the photographs by computer, Davies attributed the claim to "my inexperience of the IPSA code" and stated that he had done nothing wrong.[12][13] On 17 July 2018 he was interviewed under caution.[14] Davies was questioned by police for a second time in October 2018 over the allegations.[15] In January 2019 police passed a file to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS).[13][16] On 21 February 2019, the CPS announced that Davies had been charged with two counts of making a false instrument (forgery) and one count of providing false or misleading information for allowance claims.[17] He pleaded guilty to two charges on 22 March 2019 and will be sentenced at Southwark Crown Court at a later date.[18][19] The conviction automatically triggers a recall petition: if more than 10% of his constituency electorate then sign it within six weeks, then a by-election for the seat will be held.[20][19] References1. ^{{London Gazette |issue=61230 |date=18 May 2015 |page=9127}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/politics/constituencies/W07000068|title=Brecon and Radnorshire Parliamentary constituency|publisher=BBC News|accessdate=7 May 2015}} 3. ^{{cite news |title=Tory MP Christopher Davies admits expenses fraud |url=https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2019/mar/22/tory-mp-christopher-davies-admits-expenses-fraud |accessdate=22 March 2019 |work=The Guardian |agency=Press Association |date=22 March 2019}} 4. ^‘DAVIES, Christopher Paul’, Who's Who 2016, A & C Black, an imprint of Bloomsbury Publishing plc, 2016 5. ^1 {{cite news |url=http://www.herefordtimes.com/news/8680371.Hay_vet_Chris_Davies_becomes_new_Conservative_candidate/ |title=Hay vet Chris Davies becomes Brecon and Radnor's Conservative assembly candidate |work=Hereford Times |date=22 November 2010}} 6. ^{{Cite web |url=https://www.welshconservatives.com/people/chris-davies-mp |title=Chris Davies MP |website=The Welsh Conservative Party |accessdate=27 January 2018}} 7. ^{{Cite web |url=https://www.chrisdavies.org.uk/about-chris |title=About Chris |website=Chris Davies MP |accessdate=27 January 2018}} 8. ^{{Cite news|url=https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/politics/welsh-mp-been-ordered-repay-13723428|title=A Welsh MP has been ordered to repay the cost of 7,500 envelopes|last=Williamson|first=David|date=5 October 2017|work=walesonline|access-date=16 April 2018}} 9. ^{{cite news |url=http://www.brecon-radnor.co.uk/article.cfm?id=110412&headline=MP%20Chris%20Davies%20reassured%20no%20deal%20Brexit%20%27still%20on%20the%20table%27§ionIs=news&searchyear=2019 |title=MP Chris Davies reassured no deal Brexit 'still on the table' |last=Owen |first=Twm |website=The Brecon & Radnor Express |date=15 February 2019 |accessdate=21 February 2019}} 10. ^{{cite web |url=https://www.chrisdavies.org.uk/news/chris-davies-mp-statement-prime-ministers-proposed-brexit-agreement |title=Chris Davies MP statement on the Prime Minister's proposed Brexit agreement |publisher=Chris Davies |date=16 November 2018 |accessdate=21 February 2019}} 11. ^{{cite news |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-politics-42791879 |title=How can ministerial aides scrutinise their own bosses?
