For the Canadian journalist, see Greg Clark (journalist).


Dr Greg Clark (born 1967) British politician. He is the Conservative MP for Tunbridge Wells.

Greg Clark was born in Middlesbrough and attended the local South Bank Comprehensive School, before reading Economics at Magdalene College, Cambridge and then the London School of Economics, where he was awarded his PhD. He was the special advisor to the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry Ian Lang between 1996 and 1997 and was Director of Policy for the Conservative Party from 2001 until his election to parliament.

Whilst at Cambridge, he was a member of David Owen 's SDP, and an executive member of its student wing, Social Democrat Youth and Students (SDYS)

He was elected at the 2005 General Election for the parliamentary constituency of Tunbridge Wells after Archie Norman stood down as the MP. He was elected with a majority of 9,988 and made his maiden speech on June 9, 2005 [1] in which he spoke of the (then) forthcoming 400th anniversary of Dudley, Lord North's discovery of the Chalybeate spring and the foundation of Royal Tunbridge Wells, a town to which the royal prefix was added in 1909 by King Edward VII.

He was appointed to the front bench in a minor reshuffle in November 2006 by David Cameron, becoming Shadow Minister for Charities, Voluntary Bodies and Social Enterprise. Shortly after his appointment he made headlines by saying the Conservative party needed to pay less attention to the social thinking of Winston Churchill, and more to that of columnist on The Guardian, Polly Toynbee.

He is married to Helen and they have three children. He is a member of the influential Public Accounts Select Committee.
