Sir Graham Brady will be joining the Vale of Glamorgan Conservatives for Dinner and will be giving an after dinner talk.
At Graham's election in 1997 he was the youngest Conservative MP. In Parliament he has been opposition spokesman on employment, served as a whip and as Parliamentary Private Secretary to the Rt Hon Michael Ancram when he was Party Chairman. He went onto become Shadow Minister for Schools; PPS to Michael Howard when he became Leader of the Opposition and then Shadow Europe Minister. He continued in that role following David Cameron's election as leader. Graham stepped down from the front bench on 29th May 2007.
In 2010 he was elected Chairman of the 1922 Committee which represents the interests of backbench Conservative MPs and has continued in that position unchallenged since that date. Graham was voted Backbencher of the Year by the Spectator magazine. Graham has been a member of the Treasury Select Committee, and was a Governor of Manchester Metropolitan University from 2008-11. In January 2020 he became Vice President of the Enterprise Forum. He is patron of the Counselling and Family Centre in Altrincham and a trustee of the Jubilee Centre in Bowdon.
