The son of a senior officer in the Royal Navy, Hunt was born in Kennington and studied Philosophy, politics and economics at Magdalen College, Oxford, where he was President of the Oxford University Conservative Association. He was first elected to the House of Commons in 2005 and was promoted to the Shadow Cabinet as Shadow Minister for Disabled People and later as Shadow Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport. Hunt served in the Coalition Government as Secretary of State for Culture, Olympics, Media and Sport from 2010 to 2012, where he led the drive for local TV, resulting in Ofcom awarding local TV broadcasting licences in respect of several cities and towns. Hunt also oversaw the 2012 London Olympics, which received widespread acclaim. His previous business interests have seen him become one of the UK's richest politicians.[1][2][3][4]

Hunt served as Secretary of State for Health, later Health and Social Care, from 2012 to 2018. He served under both the Cameron premiership and May premiership and became the longest-serving Health Secretary in British political history.[2] During his tenure, he oversaw the imposition of a controversial new junior doctors' contract in England after a dispute in which junior doctors undertook multiple strikes;[5] the first such industrial action for 40 years.

Following the resignation of Boris Johnson over the Chequers Agreement, Hunt was appointed Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs in July 2018. He was a candidate for the Conservative Party leadership election in 2019, finishing second to Johnson, and resigned following Johnson's appointment as Prime Minister. He served as Chair of the Health and Social Care Select Committee from 2020 to 2022,[6][7] a prominent role due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Following Johnson's resignation in July 2022, Hunt launched a second Conservative leadership bid, but was eliminated in the first ballot of Conservative MPs. On 14 October 2022, Hunt was appointed Chancellor of the Exchequer by Liz Truss, following the dismissal of Kwasi Kwarteng, and retained his role as chancellor in Rishi Sunak's ministry following Truss' resignation.[8]

Early life and education

 
Hunt attended Charterhouse School where he became head boy

Jeremy Richard Streynsham Hunt was born on 1 November 1966 in Lambeth Hospital, Kennington, and raised in Shere, Surrey, near the constituency he represents in Parliament.[9][10] He is the eldest son of Admiral Sir Nicholas Hunt,[11] who was then a Commander in the Royal Navy assigned to work for the Director of Naval Plans inside the recently created Ministry of Defence,[12] and his wife Meriel Eve Hunt, Lady Hunt (née Givan; 1937–2022), daughter of Major Henry Cooke Givan.[13] The Hunt family were landed gentry, of Boreatton, Baschurch, Shropshire. A cousin was Dame Agnes Hunt, pioneer of orthopaedic nursing.[14]

Through a paternal great-grandmother, Hunt is a descendant of Sir Streynsham Master, a pioneer of the East India Company.[15] He is also a distant relative of Queen Elizabeth II and Sir Oswald Mosley.[16] His father worked in NHS management after he retired from the navy and his mother was a nurse in the 1950s and 60s.[17]

Hunt was educated at Charterhouse where he was Head of School.[11] He then read Philosophy, politics and economics at Magdalen College, Oxford, and took a first class honours Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree. He became involved in Conservative politics while at university, where David Cameron and Boris Johnson were contemporaries.[18] He was active in the Oxford University Conservative Association (OUCA) and was elected to serve as president in 1987.[18]

Early career

Following university, Hunt worked for two years as a management consultant at OC&C Strategy Consultants and then became an English language teacher in Japan.[19] On his return to Britain, he tried his hand at a number of different entrepreneurial business ventures, with three failed start-ups including an attempt to export marmalade to Japan.[20][21] In 1991, Hunt co-founded a public relations agency named Profile PR specialising in IT with Mike Elms, a childhood friend.[19] Hunt and Elms later sold their interest in Profile PR to concentrate on directory publishing.

Hunt had been interested in creating a 'guide to help people who want to study rather than just travel abroad'[22] and, together with Elms, founded a company known as Hotcourses in the 1990s, a major client of which is the British Council.[23] Hunt stood down as director of the company in 2009; however, he still retained 48% of the shares in the company, which were held in a blind trust before Hotcourses was sold in January 2017 for over £30 million to Australian education organisation IDP Education. He personally gained over £14 million from the sale and in doing so became the richest member of Theresa May's Cabinet.[23][24][25]

Political career

Early parliamentary career (2005–2010)

In the 2005 general election, Hunt was elected to represent the constituency of South West Surrey with a majority of 5,711.[26]

After supporting David Cameron's bid for leadership of the Conservative Party, he was appointed Shadow Minister for Disabled People in December 2005. In the same year, he was a co-author of a policy pamphlet Direct Democracy: An Agenda For A New Model Party which included statements supporting denationalising the NHS and suggested replacing it with "a new system of health provision in which people would pay money into personal health accounts, which they could then use to shop around for care from public and private providers. Those who could not afford to save enough would be funded by the state".[27] Hunt later denied that the policy pamphlet expresses his views.[28] In David Cameron's reshuffle of 2 July 2007, Hunt joined the Shadow cabinet as Shadow Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport.

In 2009, Hunt was investigated by the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards.[29][30] The commissioner found: "Mr Hunt was in breach of the rules in not reducing his claims on the Additional Costs Allowance in that period to take full account of his agent's living costs. As a result, public funds provided a benefit to the constituency agent ... Mr Hunt received no real financial benefit from the arrangement and that the error was caused by his misinterpretation of the rules."[30]

Hunt's offer to repay half the money (£9,558.50) was accepted.[30] Hunt repaid £1,996 for claiming the expenses of his Farnham home while claiming the mortgage of his Hammersmith home.[30] The commissioner said: "Mr Hunt has readily accepted that he was in error, and in breach of the rules of the House, in making a claim for utilities and other services on his Farnham home in the period during which it was still his main home. He has repaid the sum claimed, £1,996, in full. It is clear that, as a new Member in May 2005, his office arrangements were at best disorganised."[30] The Legg Report showed no other issues.[31]

Culture Secretary (2010–2012)

 
Hunt in 2010

When the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats formed a coalition following the 2010 general election, Hunt was appointed Secretary of State for Culture, Olympics, Media and Sport (combining the roles of leading the Department for Culture, Media and Sport with that of Minister for the Olympics). He was consequently appointed a Privy Councillor on 13 May 2010.[32]

In June 2010, Hunt attracted controversy for suggesting football hooliganism played a part in the death of 96 football fans in the Hillsborough disaster; when it has been established that a lack of police control and the presence of terraces and perimeter fences were the causes of the tragedy. Hunt later apologised.[33]

In September 2010, The Observer reported "raised eyebrows" when Hunt's former parliamentary assistant, Naomi Gummer, was given a job within the Department for Culture, Media and Sport on a fixed-term civil service contract after Hunt had proposed departmental cuts of 35–50 per cent. The head of the Public and Commercial Services Union questioned Hunt's motives saying, "Political independence of the civil service is a fundamental part of our democracy and we would be deeply concerned if this was being put at risk by nepotism and privilege." Gummer is the daughter of a Conservative life peer, Lord Chadlington, who was a director of Hotcourses between 2000 and 2004.[34]

As Culture Secretary, Hunt devised and championed a plan to give Britain the fastest broadband speeds in Europe. There was initial scepticism about his plans with concerns they could lead to BT regaining its monopoly.[35] He also spearheaded the drive for local TV and as a result of this policy Ofcom awarded local television licences to Belfast, Birmingham, Brighton & Hove, Bristol, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Grimsby, Leeds, Liverpool, London, Manchester, Newcastle, Norwich, Nottingham, Oxford, Plymouth, Preston, Sheffield, Southampton, and Swansea.[36] In terms of culture policy, his main focus was to boost philanthropy given the spending cuts that the arts along with other sectors was experiencing. Changes were made to the inheritance tax - including measures to encourage private gifts to the arts.[37]

During Hunt's tenure, competition and policy issues relating to media and telecommunications became the responsibility of the Culture Secretary; they were removed from the purview of the Business Secretary, Vince Cable, after Cable was recorded stating that he had "declared war" on Rupert Murdoch.[38]

In April 2012, The Daily Telegraph disclosed that Hunt had reduced his tax bill by over £100,000 by receiving dividends from Hotcourses in the form of property which was promptly leased back to the company.[39] The dividend in specie was paid just before a 10% rise in dividend tax and Hunt was not required to pay stamp duty on the property.[39]

News Corporation attempted takeover of BSkyB and Leveson Inquiry

Hunt was given the quasi-judicial power to adjudicate over the News Corporation takeover bid for BSkyB. Hunt chose not to refer the deal to the Competition Commission, announcing on 3 March 2011 that he intended to accept a series of undertakings given by News Corporation, paving the way for the deal to be approved.[40][41] Following a series of scandals concerning phone hacking, a House of Commons motion was planned that called on News Corporation to abandon the bid. The bid was eventually dropped.[42] Hunt was alleged to have had improper contact with News Corp. Emails released to the Leveson Inquiry detailed contacts between Hunt's special advisor Adam Smith and Frédéric Michel,[43] News Corp's director of public affairs and therefore a lobbyist for James Murdoch. The revelations led to calls from the Labour opposition and others for Hunt's resignation.[44] Smith, Hunt's special adviser, resigned on 25 April[45] shortly before Hunt made an emergency parliamentary statement in which he said that Smith's contact with Michel was "clearly not appropriate". Hunt said Lord Justice Leveson should be able to investigate and rule on the accusations and requested the earliest date possible to give evidence to the Inquiry to set out his side of the story.[46]

Hunt appeared before the Leveson Inquiry on 31 May 2012, when it emerged that Hunt had himself been in text and private email contact with James Murdoch.[47][48] Journalist Iain Martin claimed that at a 2010 event held at UCL which Murdoch attended he saw Hunt hide behind a tree to avoid being seen by journalists.[49] Hunt later told the Leveson Inquiry that "I thought, this is not the time to have an impromptu interview, so I moved to a different part of the quadrangle... there may or may not have been trees!"[50]

Lord Justice Leveson cleared Hunt of bias when the report was published, stating that "in some respects, there was much to commend in Mr Hunt's handling of the bid".[51] He concluded: "What was not evident from the close consideration of events which the Inquiry undertook was any credible evidence of actual bias on the part of Mr Hunt. Whatever he had said, both publicly and in private, about News Corp or the Murdochs, as soon as he was given the responsibility for dealing with the bid the evidence demonstrates a real desire on his part to get it right. His actions as a decision maker were frequently adverse to News Corp's interests. He showed a willingness to follow Ofcom's advice and to take action, to the extent recommended by the regulators, in response to the consultation."[51]

London 2012 Olympics

As Culture Secretary, Hunt was the government minister responsible for the 2012 London Olympics and 2012 London Paralympics. When it transpired that contractors G4S could not provide enough security staff for the Games, Hunt announced that soldiers would be drafted in and that he had been forced to "think again" about the default use of private contractors.[52] Hunt took the decision to double the budget for the Danny Boyle-directed opening ceremony which received acclaim, and overall the Games were considered a huge success internationally.[53][54][55][56] According to Danny Boyle, the artistic director for the opening ceremony, the Government initially suggested removing the section of the opening ceremony about the NHS, although Hunt denied this.[57]

The Games received widespread acclaim for their organisation, with the volunteers, the British military and public enthusiasm praised particularly highly.[58][59][60] In the aftermath, Hunt set up the school games as an Olympic Legacy project. Although there was criticism at the time of cuts in the school sports budget,[61] 11,953 schools took part in the School Games in the first year.[62] Hunt also campaigned to increase the emphasis on the importance of the tourism industry, especially the potential of the Chinese tourist market.[63]

Health Secretary (2012–2018)

Hunt was appointed Secretary of State for Health in the 2012 cabinet reshuffle, succeeding Andrew Lansley.[64] During his tenure, Hunt pursued an ambitious agenda to address patient safety,[65] regional variations in premature deaths,[66] health tourism[67] and A&E waiting times.[68][25] He oversaw increased spending on the NHS but was criticised for controversial reforms,[69][70] manipulating figures[71] and increased privatisation.[72] In a major break from a policy previously favoured by Conservative and Labour governments, Hunt declared patient choice was not key to improving NHS performance.[73] He also defended the universal coverage provided by the NHS, including against US President Donald Trump.[74] He has supported reducing the abortion limit from 24 weeks to 12 weeks[75] and homoeopathy if recommended to patients by a doctor.[76][77][78]

In 2012, Hunt attempted to downgrade casualty and maternity units in Lewisham.[79] Hunt stated the cuts were necessary because neighbouring South London Healthcare NHS Trust had been losing more than £1m every week.[80] But a campaign led by GP Dr Louise Irvine defeated Hunt in court in 2012 on this issue,[79] with the judge ruling that Hunt acted outside his powers when he announced casualty and maternity units at Lewisham Hospital would be downgraded.[80]

In March 2014, Hunt announced that the Government would not give a recommended 1% pay rise to NHS non-medical staff receiving progression pay (around 55% of total non-medical staff).[81] Following a pre-election report in April 2015 that hospital chiefs shared an average 6% pay rise totalling £35 million, Hunt promised to investigate if the Conservatives won the election.[82]

In July 2015, Hunt became the subject of the first petition on a new UK Government website to reach the threshold of 100,000 signatures required for a petition to be considered for debate in Parliament. The petition called for a debate on a vote of "No Confidence" in Hunt as Health Secretary,[83][84] and ultimately recorded 222,991 signatures leading to a debate on the motion being scheduled in September 2015.[85] However, the Petitions Committee would not have had the power to initiate a vote of no confidence so instead debated the contracts and conditions of NHS staff.[86][87][88]

In December 2015, an undercover Daily Telegraph investigation showed that in some cases locum agencies, Medicare and Team24 owned by Capita were charging some hospitals higher fees than others and giving false company details. The agencies were charging up to 49% of the fee. Hunt criticised those who sought "big profits" at the expense of the NHS and taxpayers and promised to "reduce the margins rip-off agencies are able to generate."[89]

Hunt became the longest-serving Health Secretary in British political history on 3 June 2018.[90]

Hunt supported Britain remaining in the European Union (EU) in the 2016 referendum. After the result which supported Brexit was announced, Hunt suggested a second referendum on the terms of any exit deal with him personally backing one in which the UK would stay in the Single Market.[91][92]

In 2016, Hunt called for a reduction in the number of foreign doctors working in the NHS after the UK left the EU.[93] At the Conservative Party Conference later in the month, Hunt pledged, by 2025, the NHS would be "self-sufficient in doctors". He announced an increase of up to 1,500 extra places at medical schools in the UK in 2018, partly funded by an increase in international medical student fees. Hunt also stated UK medical students would be forced to work in the NHS for at least four years or have to repay the cost of their training, around £220,000.[94][95]

In 2017, Hunt stated he supported Brexit, citing the "arrogance of the EU Commission" in responding to the UK Government in the Brexit negotiations.[96]

In April 2018, The Daily Telegraph revealed that Hunt breached anti-money laundering legislation by failing to declare his 50 per cent interest in a property firm to Companies House within the required 28 days. Hunt also failed to disclose his interest in the property firm on the Parliamentary Register of Members’ interests within the required 28 days.[97] Hunt later rectified the error. A spokesman for Hunt said that Hunt's "accountant made an error in the Companies House filing, which was a genuine oversight." In response, a spokesman for Downing Street agreed with the Cabinet Office that there was no breach of the ministerial code. The Labour Party referred Hunt to the parliamentary commissioner for standards.[98]

NHS weekend cover

In July 2015, Hunt indicated he would be prepared to impose a new consultant contract on doctors in England which would remove the opt out for non-emergency work at weekends to prevent "about 6,000 avoidable deaths" resulting from "Monday to Friday culture" in the NHS and to reintroduce "a sense of vocation" in consultants.[99] The comments angered doctors who responded by sharing photographs of themselves working at weekends via social media using the hashtag #ImInWorkJeremy.[100][101][102] Hunt was criticised by statisticians David Spiegelhalter and David Craven, BMA council chair Mark Porter and Shadow Health Secretary Heidi Alexander for his claims not merely misrepresenting the facts but potentially causing patients to delay hospitals visits and put themselves at risk. His critics described the Hunt Effect where patients who needed medical attention at a weekend had been deterred from doing so because they were persuaded it would be better to wait until a Monday.[103][104][105]

In October 2015, Hunt was accused by the editor of The BMJ Fiona Godlee of repeatedly misrepresenting a study published in the journal on the weekend effect. He had used the study as evidence when stating reduced staffing levels of doctors at weekends directly led to 11,000 excess deaths. Godlee asserted the study's authors did not specify the excess deaths were avoidable or staffing levels were the cause.[106][107][108] The lead author of the study Nick Freemantle stated they did not identify a cause for excess deaths or establish the extent to which they were avoidable.[109] Co-author NHS Medical Director Bruce Keogh in response to Hunt's comments in October stated "It is not possible to ascertain the extent to which these excess deaths may be preventable".[110]

In January 2016, Hunt was criticised by stroke doctors for using out-of-date data to show stroke patients were more likely to die if admitted at weekends. They wrote there had been significant improvements since 2004–12, when Hunt's data came from, and new data showed there was "no longer any excess of hospital deaths in patients with stroke admitted at the weekend."[111][112] Stroke specialist David Curtis said even the outdated statistics did not support Hunt's claims.[113] In February, a leaked internal report by the Department of Health stated the department was unable to prove a link between increased consultant presence, availability of diagnostic tests, and reducing weekend mortality and length of stay. It highlighted the seven-day NHS could cost an additional £900 million each year, required the recruitment of 11,000 more staff including 4,000 doctors and 3,000 nurses, and community and social services could struggle to handle more discharges at the weekend.[114]

In May 2016, another study also concluded there was no evidence people were more likely to die in hospitals at the weekend.[115][116][117] In August, internal Department of Health risk management documents were leaked. They described 13 major risks in delivering the "truly seven-day NHS" pledge promised by the Conservatives prior to the 2015 general election. These included a lack of staff and funding for the policy. The documents also stated no advance impact assessments had been made to show how the policy would affect the delivery of NHS services.[118][119][120] Chief executive of NHS Providers Chris Hopson described the seven-day NHS plan as "impossible to deliver" due to a lack of funding and staffing. He also highlighted pressures on the NHS with 80% of acute hospitals in England in financial deficit compared to 5% in 2013 and an increase of missed A&E waiting time targets from 10% to 90% in the same time period.[121][122] In May 2016, a report by the House of Commons public accounts committee criticised Hunt's plan for a seven-day NHS, saying "no coherent attempt" had made to understand staffing needs, the plan was "completely uncosted", and contained "serious flaws".[123][124][125][126]

Junior doctors' contracts and strikes

Main article: 2015 junior doctors contract dispute in England

Under Hunt, the Department of Health announced a new junior doctors' contract in England which would increase doctors' basic pay but extend "normal hours" for which they would not be paid a premium.[127][128][129] In September 2015, the British Medical Association (BMA) said they would not re-enter negotiations unless Hunt dropped his threat to impose the contract and balloted their members for industrial action.[130] They argued the contract would include an increase in working hours with a relative pay cut of up to 40%.[127][131][132][133] Hunt tried reassuring the BMA no junior doctor would face a pay cut, before admitting those who worked longer than 56 hours a week would face a fall in pay but said working these long hours was unsafe.[134][135][136][137] In November 2015, he said he would offer a basic pay increase of 11%, but still removing compensation for longer hours.[138][139][140]

On 19 November 2015, the result of a BMA strike ballot was announced, with 98% voting for full strike action.[141][142] An agreement was not reached by the junior doctors committee's deadline, so the BMA announced a strike would go ahead.[143][144]

The first day of strike action was in January 2016 and involved junior doctors only providing emergency care.[145] A second day of strike action occurred in February 2016 where doctors again provided only emergency care.[146][147][148] Following these strikes, Hunt announced he would unilaterally impose the new contract without agreement or further negotiation, with NHS trusts instructed to introduce it in August.[149][150] In response, the BMA announced three 48-hour long strikes and issued a legal challenge over the contract.[151]

Further talks after the strikes resulted in an agreement to be put to a referendum.[152][153][154] In the July referendum, 58% of BMA members rejected the offer.[155] Following this, Hunt rejected holding any further talks with the BMA and announced the imposition of the new contract on junior doctors starting from October.[156]

In February 2016, Hunt was polled as the "most disliked" frontline British politician.[157] He acknowledged there would be "considerable dismay" and announced an urgent inquiry led by Academy of Medical Royal Colleges chair Susan Bailey into junior doctors' morale and welfare.[158][159] The Academy Trainee Doctors' Group voted unanimously not to participate in the review under the offered terms.[160][161] He said he had lessons to learn but denied any personal responsibility for the dispute.[162]

Also, in 2016, both Stephen Hawking and Robert Winston called for an inquiry into claims made by Hunt regarding whether the NHS had sufficient funding, with Hawking saying Hunt had "cherry-picked research, causing a devastating breakdown of trust between Government and the medical profession".[163]

Foreign Secretary (2018–2019)

Hunt was appointed Foreign Secretary in July 2018 following the resignation of Boris Johnson.[164] Hunt said "My principal job at a time of massive importance for our country is to stand four square behind the Prime Minister so that we can get through an agreement with the European Union based on what was agreed by the Cabinet last week at Chequers."[165] In July 2018, Hunt expressed fears over the UK potentially leaving the EU without a deal. He said that it would be "incredibly challenging economically" and that "It would lead to a fissure in relations which would be highly damaging for that great partnership that we have had for so many years, which has been so important in sustaining the international order."[166]

Hunt supported the Saudi Arabian-led military intervention in Yemen and described Saudi Arabia as a "very, very important military ally". In August 2018, he defended Britain's alliance with Saudi Arabia after a bomb dropped on a school bus in Yemen killed 51 people, including 40 children, although he said he was "deeply shocked" at the deaths.[167] Amid global outrage over the murder of Saudi dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi at the Saudi Arabian consulate in Istanbul, Hunt rejected calls to end the UK's arms sales to Saudi Arabia, saying: "There are jobs in the UK ... at stake so when it comes to the issue of arms sales we have our procedures."[168] In February 2019, he urged Germany to lift ban on arms sales to Saudi Arabia and warned that Germans are risking "a loss of confidence in Germany's credibility as a partner",[169] although he admitted: "Over 80,000 children [in Yemen] have died of starvation, there are about a quarter of a million people starving at the moment, and around 20 million people don't have food security – they don't know whether they're going to be able to get the food they need in the days ahead."[170] Andrew Smith, of Campaign Against Arms Trade (CAAT), said Hunt "played an utterly central and complicit role in arming and supporting the Saudi-led destruction of Yemen".[171]

In July 2018, Hunt visited China and met China's foreign minister Wang Yi. Hunt said that the "UK-China Strategic Dialogue is an important opportunity to intensify our cooperation on shared challenges in international affairs, ranging from global free trade to non-proliferation and environmental challenges, under the UK-China Global Partnership and 'Golden Era' for UK-China relations".[172] In October 2018, he criticised the Xinjiang re-education camps and human rights abuses against the Uyghur Muslim minority in China, saying: "British diplomats who visited Xinjiang have confirmed that reports of mass internment camps for Uighur Muslims were 'broadly true'."[173]

Hunt was critical of Russia and Iran. On 23 August 2018, Hunt met US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to discuss the 'threat' from both countries.[174][175] In April 2019, Hunt condemned the United States for recognising Israel's 1981 annexation of the Golan Heights, saying: "We should never recognise the annexation of territory by force. (...) We want Israel to be a success and we consider them to be a great friend but on this we do not agree."[176] In June 2019, he stated he shared the US Government's assessment that Iran was to blame for two attacks on oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman.[177]

Hunt supported the continued efforts of the UK Government to leave the European Union. During the September 2018 Conservative conference, Hunt likened the European Union to the former USSR, saying: "It was the Soviet Union that stopped people leaving. The lesson from history is clear: If you turn the EU club into a prison, the desire to get out won't diminish." This comment was strongly criticised.[178] While on a February 2019 Brexit-related visit to Ljubljana, he caused anger by congratulating his hosts on "making really remarkable transformation from a Soviet vassal state to a modern European democracy." In fact Slovenia, as part of Yugoslavia, had previously been non-aligned.[179][180]

In November 2018, Hunt threatened the United Arab Emirates with "serious diplomatic consequences" after it sentenced British research student Matthew Hedges to life in prison for allegedly spying for the UK. Hunt said that the verdict "is not what we expect from a friend and trusted partner of the United Kingdom and runs contrary to earlier assurances".[181] Hedges was released at the end of November, after intense negotiations.[182]

Following the April 2019 arrest of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange in London's Ecuadorian Embassy, Hunt thanked the Ecuadorean President Lenín Moreno for his cooperation.[183]

Conservative Party leadership candidate (2019)

Hunt announced his campaign to become the leader of the Conservative Party on 24 May 2019, following the resignation of Prime Minister Theresa May.[184] On 20 June 2019, he was named one of the final two candidates.[185] Hunt was defeated by Boris Johnson, having secured only one third of the vote. His campaign was given £10,000 by a close associate to Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.[186][171]

Following Boris Johnson's election as party leader, Hunt was offered the role of Secretary of State for Defence in Johnson's Cabinet but decided to turn it down.[187]

Backbencher (2019–2022)

Returning to the backbenches, Hunt founded Patient Safety Watch in October 2019, with the charity seeking to establish data to report on patient safety and harm in care, continuing the work on safety he started as Health Secretary. He chairs the organisation and said he planned to invest considerable sums of money into it.[188] However according to The Guardian two thirds of its income is spent on the salary of Hunt's former political advisor who was sacked over a previous lobbying scandal.[189]

Hunt held his seat at the 2019 general election.[190] He was elected as the new chair of the Health and Social Care Select Committee in January 2020, succeeding Sarah Wollaston.[191] In February 2020, Hunt called for an inquiry into the National Health Service after the publishing of many reports regarding infant mortality in NHS hospitals.[192]

In March 2020, Hunt expressed disapproval of the Government's response to the emerging COVID-19 pandemic, criticising the Government for still allowing "external visits to care homes" and "not preventing mass gatherings".[193]

Hunt voted against Boris Johnson in the 2022 vote of confidence and urged other colleagues to do the same.[194]

His book, Zero: Eliminating unnecessary deaths in a post-pandemic NHS, argues for "candour, a no-blame culture and a sincere determination to treat every mistake as an opportunity to learn how to do better next time". He writes that in the NHS there are 150 preventable deaths each week and draws on the experience of the airline industry to advocate a shift from a blame culture to a learning culture.[195]

Conservative Party leadership candidate (2022)

Following the resignation of Boris Johnson, Hunt announced he would be standing in the subsequent Conservative Party leadership election. He criticised Johnson for investing in infrastructure instead of "wealth creation", and proposed policies including a moratorium on business rates in deprived areas and a cut to corporation tax to 15% instead of a proposed rise to 25%.[196] He also said he would retain the rise in National Insurance rates and would not cut personal taxation until he "[got] the economy growing".[197] Hunt said Esther McVey would be deputy prime minister if he were to become prime minister.[198] He was eliminated in the first round of voting on 13 July, receiving 18 votes.[199] He endorsed Rishi Sunak after being eliminated.[200]

Chancellor of the Exchequer (2022–present)

Following the dismissal of Kwasi Kwarteng on 14 October 2022, following the poorly received September 2022 mini-budget, Hunt was appointed Chancellor of the Exchequer by Prime Minister Liz Truss.[201] He swiftly appointed four economic advisors to a panel, namely Rupert Harrison, Gertjan Vlieghe, Sushil Wadhwani, and former top advisor to Philip Hammond, Karen Ward.[202]

On 18 October, Tory MP Sir Roger Gale stated "Jeremy Hunt is de facto prime minister at the moment".[203][204] This was echoed by media, including The Guardian,[205][206] with the Financial Times writing that many MPs believe he is now the country's de facto leader.[207] The Economist called him "chancellor in name but prime minister in practice" and "the most powerful person in Britain".[208]

Following Truss' resignation, Hunt declined to stand in the party leadership election to replace her.[209] Following Rishi Sunak's appointment as Prime Minister, Hunt was reappointed as Chancellor.[210]

His autumn statement took place on 17 November 2022 and retracted the majority of planned reforms from Kwarteng's mini-budget.[211]

His 2023 spring budget, delivered on 15 March 2023, was the first full budget statement to be presented by Hunt since his appointment as chancellor.[212] Announcements included, a fuel duty freeze, an extension of the "Energy Price Guarantee" for 3 more months, investments in low-carbon energy projects and 30 hours of free childcare for working people in England.[213]

Personal life

Hunt's wife, Lucia Guo, comes from Xi'an in China. Hunt first met Guo in 2008, when she was working at Warwick University recruiting Chinese students for the university.[214][215] They married in July 2009 and have a son and two daughters;[216][217] Guo and the three children are low-profile and rarely appear in public.[218] His wife presented a segment on Sky's China Hour, a show coproduced by state-owned broadcaster China International Television Corporation.[219]

He owns a townhouse in Pimlico, central London as well as a home in Hambledon, Surrey.[220] Hunt and his wife own Mare Pond Properties Ltd, a company which bought seven luxury flats in Alexandra Wharf, Southampton, with the help of a standard bulk discount from property developer and Conservative donor Nicholas James Roach.[221][222]

Hunt speaks Japanese, having studied the language for two years while working in Japan as an English language teacher in the 1990s.[223]

Hunt has named his personal political heroes as Margaret Thatcher and William Wilberforce.[20] Hunt is a member of the Church of England.[224]

Hunt has advocated for pro-active good mental health through actions including exercise, social contacts, gratitude and sleep.[225]

In June 2022, he revealed that "every member of his family" has had cancer, and he himself has recovered from "a minor one".[226]

founded a public relations agency named Profile PR specialising in IT with Mike Elms a childhood friend 19 Hunt and Elms later sold their interest in Profile PR to concentrate on directory publishing Hunt had been interested in creating a guide to help people who want to study rather than just travel abroad 22 and together with Elms founded a company known as Hotcourses in the 1990s a major client of which is the British Council 23 Hunt stood down as director of the company in 2009 however he still retained 48 of the shares in the company which were held in a blind trust before Hotcourses was sold in January 2017 for over 30 million to Australian education organisation IDP Education He personally gained over 14 million from the sale and in doing so became the richest member of Theresa May s Cabinet 23 24 25 Political career EditEarly parliamentary career 2005 2010 Edit In the 2005 general election Hunt was elected to represent the constituency of South West Surrey with a majority of 5 711 26 After supporting David Cameron s bid for leadership of the Conservative Party he was appointed Shadow Minister for Disabled People in December 2005 In the same year he was a co author of a policy pamphlet Direct Democracy An Agenda For A New Model Party which included statements supporting denationalising the NHS and suggested replacing it with a new system of health provision in which people would pay money into personal health accounts which they could then use to shop around for care from public and private providers Those who could not afford to save enough would be funded by the state 27 Hunt later denied that the policy pamphlet expresses his views 28 In David Cameron s reshuffle of 2 July 2007 Hunt joined the Shadow cabinet as Shadow Secretary of State for Culture Media and Sport In 2009 Hunt was investigated by the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards 29 30 The commissioner found Mr Hunt was in breach of the rules in not reducing his claims on the Additional Costs Allowance in that period to take full account of his agent s living costs As a result public funds provided a benefit to the constituency agent Mr Hunt received no real financial benefit from the arrangement and that the error was caused by his misinterpretation of the rules 30 Hunt s offer to repay half the money 9 558 50 was accepted 30 Hunt repaid 1 996 for claiming the expenses of his Farnham home while claiming the mortgage of his Hammersmith home 30 The commissioner said Mr Hunt has readily accepted that he was in error and in breach of the rules of the House in making a claim for utilities and other services on his Farnham home in the period during which it was still his main home He has repaid the sum claimed 1 996 in full It is clear that as a new Member in May 2005 his office arrangements were at best disorganised 30 The Legg Report showed no other issues 31 Culture Secretary 2010 2012 Edit Hunt in 2010 When the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats formed a coalition following the 2010 general election Hunt was appointed Secretary of State for Culture Olympics Media and Sport combining the roles of leading the Department for Culture Media and Sport with that of Minister for the Olympics He was consequently appointed a Privy Councillor on 13 May 2010 32 In June 2010 Hunt attracted controversy for suggesting football hooliganism played a part in the death of 96 football fans in the Hillsborough disaster when it has been established that a lack of police control and the presence of terraces and perimeter fences were the causes of the tragedy Hunt later apologised 33 In September 2010 The Observer reported raised eyebrows when Hunt s former parliamentary assistant Naomi Gummer was given a job within the Department for Culture Media and Sport on a fixed term civil service contract after Hunt had proposed departmental cuts of 35 50 per cent The head of the Public and Commercial Services Union questioned Hunt s motives saying Political independence of the civil service is a fundamental part of our democracy and we would be deeply concerned if this was being put at risk by nepotism and privilege Gummer is the daughter of a Conservative life peer Lord Chadlington who was a director of Hotcourses between 2000 and 2004 34 As Culture Secretary Hunt devised and championed a plan to give Britain the fastest broadband speeds in Europe There was initial scepticism about his plans with concerns they could lead to BT regaining its monopoly 35 He also spearheaded the drive for local TV and as a result of this policy Ofcom awarded local television licences to Belfast Birmingham Brighton amp Hove Bristol Cardiff Edinburgh Glasgow Grimsby Leeds Liverpool London Manchester Newcastle Norwich Nottingham Oxford Plymouth Preston Sheffield Southampton and Swansea 36 In terms of culture policy his main focus was to boost philanthropy given the spending cuts that the arts along with other sectors was experiencing Changes were made to the inheritance tax including measures to encourage private gifts to the arts 37 During Hunt s tenure competition and policy issues relating to media and telecommunications became the responsibility of the Culture Secretary they were removed from the purview of the Business Secretary Vince Cable after Cable was recorded stating that he had declared war on Rupert Murdoch 38 In April 2012 The Daily Telegraph disclosed that Hunt had reduced his tax bill by over 100 000 by receiving dividends from Hotcourses in the form of property which was promptly leased back to the company 39 The dividend in specie was paid just before a 10 rise in dividend tax and Hunt was not required to pay stamp duty on the property 39 News Corporation attempted takeover of BSkyB and Leveson Inquiry Edit Hunt was given the quasi judicial power to adjudicate over the News Corporation takeover bid for BSkyB Hunt chose not to refer the deal to the Competition Commission announcing on 3 March 2011 that he intended to accept a series of undertakings given by News Corporation paving the way for the deal to be approved 40 41 Following a series of scandals concerning phone hacking a House of Commons motion was planned that called on News Corporation to abandon the bid The bid was eventually dropped 42 Hunt was alleged to have had improper contact with News Corp Emails released to the Leveson Inquiry detailed contacts between Hunt s special advisor Adam Smith and Frederic Michel 43 News Corp s director of public affairs and therefore a lobbyist for James Murdoch The revelations led to calls from the Labour opposition and others for Hunt s resignation 44 Smith Hunt s special adviser resigned on 25 April 45 shortly before Hunt made an emergency parliamentary statement in which he said that Smith s contact with Michel was clearly not appropriate Hunt said Lord Justice Leveson should be able to investigate and rule on the accusations and requested the earliest date possible to give evidence to the Inquiry to set out his side of the story 46 Hunt appeared before the Leveson Inquiry on 31 May 2012 when it emerged that Hunt had himself been in text and private email contact with James Murdoch 47 48 Journalist Iain Martin claimed that at a 2010 event held at UCL which Murdoch attended he saw Hunt hide behind a tree to avoid being seen by journalists 49 Hunt later told the Leveson Inquiry that I thought this is not the time to have an impromptu interview so I moved to a different part of the quadrangle there may or may not have been trees 50 Lord Justice Leveson cleared Hunt of bias when the report was published stating that in some respects there was much to commend in Mr Hunt s handling of the bid 51 He concluded What was not evident from the close consideration of events which the Inquiry undertook was any credible evidence of actual bias on the part of Mr Hunt Whatever he had said both publicly and in private about News Corp or the Murdochs as soon as he was given the responsibility for dealing with the bid the evidence demonstrates a real desire on his part to get it right His actions as a decision maker were frequently adverse to News Corp s interests He showed a willingness to follow Ofcom s advice and to take action to the extent recommended by the regulators in response to the consultation 51 London 2012 Olympics Edit As Culture Secretary Hunt was the government minister responsible for the 2012 London Olympics and 2012 London Paralympics When it transpired that contractors G4S could not provide enough security staff for the Games Hunt announced that soldiers would be drafted in and that he had been forced to think again about the default use of private contractors 52 Hunt took the decision to double the budget for the Danny Boyle directed opening ceremony which received acclaim and overall the Games were considered a huge success internationally 53 54 55 56 According to Danny Boyle the artistic director for the opening ceremony the Government initially suggested removing the section of the opening ceremony about the NHS although Hunt denied this 57 The Games received widespread acclaim for their organisation with the volunteers the British military and public enthusiasm praised particularly highly 58 59 60 In the aftermath Hunt set up the school games as an Olympic Legacy project Although there was criticism at the time of cuts in the school sports budget 61 11 953 schools took part in the School Games in the first year 62 Hunt also campaigned to increase the emphasis on the importance of the tourism industry especially the potential of the Chinese tourist market 63 Health Secretary 2012 2018 Edit Main article Jeremy Hunt s tenure as Health Secretary Hunt during a trip to the US in 2013 Japanese

the NHS but was criticised for controversial reforms 69 70 manipulating figures 71 and increased privatisation 72 In a major break from a policy previously favoured by Conservative and Labour governments Hunt declared patient choice was not key to improving NHS performance 73 He also defended the universal coverage provided by the NHS including against US President Donald Trump 74 He has supported reducing the abortion limit from 24 weeks to 12 weeks 75 and homoeopathy if recommended to patients by a doctor 76 77 78 In 2012 Hunt attempted to downgrade casualty and maternity units in Lewisham 79 Hunt stated the cuts were necessary because neighbouring South London Healthcare NHS Trust had been losing more than 1m every week 80 But a campaign led by GP Dr Louise Irvine defeated Hunt in court in 2012 on this issue 79 with the judge ruling that Hunt acted outside his powers when he announced casualty and maternity units at Lewisham Hospital would be downgraded 80 In March 2014 Hunt announced that the Government would not give a recommended 1 pay rise to NHS non medical staff receiving progression pay around 55 of total non medical staff 81 Following a pre election report in April 2015 that hospital chiefs shared an average 6 pay rise totalling 35 million Hunt promised to investigate if the Conservatives won the election 82 In July 2015 Hunt became the subject of the first petition on a new UK Government website to reach the threshold of 100 000 signatures required for a petition to be considered for debate in Parliament The petition called for a debate on a vote of No Confidence in Hunt as Health Secretary 83 84 and ultimately recorded 222 991 signatures leading to a debate on the motion being scheduled in September 2015 85 However the Petitions Committee would not have had the power to initiate a vote of no confidence so instead debated the contracts and conditions of NHS staff 86 87 88 In December 2015 an undercover Daily Telegraph investigation showed that in some cases locum agencies Medicare and Team24 owned by Capita were charging some hospitals higher fees than others and giving false company details The agencies were charging up to 49 of the fee Hunt criticised those who sought big profits at the expense of the NHS and taxpayers and promised to reduce the margins rip off agencies are able to generate 89 Hunt became the longest serving Health Secretary in British political history on 3 June 2018 90 Hunt supported Britain remaining in the European Union EU in the 2016 referendum After the result which supported Brexit was

the number of foreign doctors working in the NHS after the UK left the EU 93 At the Conservative Party Conference later in the month Hunt pledged by 2025 the NHS would be self sufficient in doctors He announced an increase of up to 1 500 extra places at medical schools in the UK in 2018 partly funded by an increase in international medical student fees Hunt also stated UK medical students would be forced to work in the NHS for at least four years or have to repay the cost of their training around 220 000 94 95 In 2017 Hunt stated he supported Brexit citing the arrogance of the EU Commission in responding to the UK Government in the Brexit negotiations 96 In April 2018 The Daily Telegraph revealed that Hunt breached anti money laundering legislation by failing to declare his 50 per cent interest in a property firm to Companies House within the required 28 days Hunt also failed to disclose his interest in the property firm on the Parliamentary Register of Members interests within the required 28 days 97 Hunt later rectified the error A spokesman for Hunt said that Hunt s accountant made an error in the Companies House filing which was a genuine oversight In response a spokesman for Downing Street agreed with the Cabinet Office that there was no breach of the ministerial code The Labour Party referred Hunt to the parliamentary commissioner for standards 98 NHS weekend cover Edit In July 2015 Hunt indicated he would be prepared to impose a new consultant contract on doctors in England which would remove the opt out for non emergency work at weekends to prevent about 6 000 avoidable deaths resulting from Monday to Friday culture in the NHS and to reintroduce a sense of vocation in consultants 99 The comments angered doctors who responded by sharing photographs of themselves working at weekends via social media using the hashtag ImInWorkJeremy 100 101 102 Hunt was criticised by statisticians David Spiegelhalter and David Craven BMA council chair Mark Porter and Shadow Health Secretary Heidi Alexander for his claims not merely misrepresenting the facts but potentially causing patients to delay hospitals visits and put themselves at risk His critics described the Hunt Effect where patients who needed medical attention at a weekend had been deterred from doing so because they were persuaded it would be better to wait until a Monday 103 104 105 In October 2015 Hunt was accused by the editor of The BMJ Fiona Godlee of repeatedly misrepresenting a study published in the journal on the weekend effect He had used the study as evidence when stating reduced staffing levels of doctors at weekends directly led to 11 000 excess deaths Godlee asserted the study s authors did not specify the excess deaths were avoidable or staffing levels were the cause 106 107 108 The lead author of the study Nick Freemantle stated they did not identify a cause for excess deaths or establish the extent to which they were avoidable 109 Co author NHS Medical Director Bruce Keogh in response to Hunt s comments in October stated It is not possible to ascertain the extent to which these excess deaths may be preventable 110 In January 2016 Hunt was criticised by stroke doctors for using out of date data to show stroke patients were more likely to die if admitted at weekends They wrote there had been significant improvements since 2004 12 when Hunt s data came from and new data showed there was no longer any excess of hospital deaths in patients with stroke admitted at the weekend 111 112 Stroke specialist David Curtis said even the outdated statistics did not support Hunt s claims 113 In February a leaked internal report by the Department of Health stated the department was unable to prove a link between increased consultant presence availability of diagnostic tests and reducing weekend mortality and length of stay It highlighted the seven day NHS could cost an additional 900 million each year required the recruitment of 11 000 more staff including 4 000 doctors and 3 000 nurses and community and social services could struggle to handle more discharges at the weekend 114 In May 2016 another study also concluded there was no evidence people were more likely to die in hospitals at the weekend 115 116 117 In August internal Department of Health risk management documents were leaked They described 13 major risks in delivering the truly seven day NHS pledge promised by the Conservatives prior to the 2015 general election These included a lack of staff and funding for the policy The documents also stated no advance impact assessments had been made to show how the policy would affect the delivery of NHS services 118 119 120 Chief executive of NHS Providers Chris Hopson described the seven day NHS plan as impossible to deliver due to a lack of funding and staffing He also highlighted pressures on the NHS with 80 of acute hospitals in England in financial deficit compared to 5 in 2013 and an increase of missed A amp E waiting time targets from 10 to 90 in the same time period 121 122 In May 2016 a report by the House of Commons public accounts committee criticised Hunt s plan for a seven day NHS saying no coherent attempt had made to understand staffing needs the plan was completely uncosted and contained serious flaws 123 124 125 126 Junior doctors contracts and strikes Edit Main article 2015 junior doctors contract dispute in England Under Hunt the Department of Health announced a new junior doctors contract in England which would increase doctors basic pay but extend normal hours for which they would not be paid a premium 127 128 129 In September 2015 the British Medical Association BMA said they would not re enter negotiations unless Hunt dropped his threat to impose the contract and balloted their members for industrial action 130 They argued the contract would include an increase in working hours with a relative pay cut of up to 40 127 131 132 133 Hunt tried reassuring the BMA no junior doctor would face a pay cut before admitting those who worked longer than 56 hours a week would face a fall in pay but said working these long hours was unsafe 134 135 136 137 In November 2015 he said he would offer a basic pay increase of 11 but still removing compensation for longer hours 138 139 140 On 19 November 2015 the result of a BMA strike ballot was announced with 98 voting for full strike action 141 142 An agreement was not reached by the junior doctors committee s deadline so the BMA announced a strike would go ahead 143 144 The first day of strike action was in January 2016 and involved junior doctors only providing emergency care 145 A second day of strike action occurred in February 2016 where doctors again provided only emergency care 146 147 148 Following these strikes Hunt announced he would unilaterally impose the new contract without agreement or further negotiation with NHS trusts instructed to introduce it in August 149 150 In response the BMA announced three 48 hour long strikes and issued a legal challenge over the contract 151 Further talks after the strikes resulted in an agreement to be put to a referendum 152 153 154 In the July referendum 58 of BMA members rejected the offer 155 Following this Hunt rejected holding any further talks with the BMA and announced the imposition of the new contract on junior doctors starting from October 156 In February 2016 Hunt was polled as the most disliked frontline British politician 157 He acknowledged there would be considerable dismay and announced an urgent inquiry led by Academy of Medical Royal Colleges chair Susan Bailey into junior doctors morale and welfare 158 159 The Academy Trainee Doctors Group voted unanimously not to participate in the review under the offered terms 160 161 He said he had lessons to learn but denied any personal responsibility for the dispute 162 Also in 2016 both Stephen Hawking and Robert Winston called for an inquiry into claims made by Hunt regarding whether the NHS had sufficient funding with Hawking saying Hunt had cherry picked research causing a devastating breakdown of trust between Government and the medical profession 163 Foreign Secretary 2018 2019 Edit Hunt with United Arab Emirates Foreign Minister Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan in September 2018 Hunt meeting with US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in Brussels May 2019Hunt was appointed Foreign Secretary in July 2018 following the resignation of Boris Johnson 164 Hunt said My principal job at a time of massive importance for our country is to stand four square behind the Prime Minister so that we can get through an agreement with the European Union based on what was agreed by the Cabinet last week at Chequers 165 In July 2018 Hunt expressed fears over the UK potentially leaving the EU without a deal He said that it would be incredibly challenging economically and that It would lead to a fissure in relations which would be highly damaging for that great partnership that we have had for so many years which has been so important in sustaining the international order 166 Hunt supported the Saudi Arabian led military intervention in Yemen and described Saudi Arabia as a very very important military ally In August 2018 he defended Britain s alliance with Saudi Arabia after a bomb dropped on a school bus in Yemen killed 51 people including 40 children although he said he was deeply shocked at the deaths 167 Amid global outrage over the murder of Saudi dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi at the Saudi Arabian consulate in Istanbul Hunt rejected calls to end the UK s arms sales to Saudi Arabia saying There are jobs in the UK at stake so when it comes to the issue of arms sales we have our procedures 168 In February 2019 he urged Germany to lift ban on arms sales to Saudi Arabia and warned that Germans are risking a loss of confidence in Germany s credibility as a partner 169 although he admitted Over 80 000 children in Yemen have died of starvation there are about a quarter of a million people starving at the moment and around 20 million people don t have food security they don t know whether they re going to be able to get the food they need in the days ahead 170 Andrew Smith of Campaign Against Arms Trade CAAT said Hunt played an utterly central and complicit role in arming and supporting the Saudi led destruction of Yemen

challenges in international affairs ranging from global free trade to non proliferation and environmental challenges under the UK China Global Partnership and Golden Era for UK China relations 172 In

countries 174 175 In April 2019 Hunt condemned the United States for recognising Israel s 1981 annexation of the Golan Heights saying We should never recognise the annexation of territory by force We want Israel to be a success and we consider them to be a great friend but on this we do not agree 176 In June 2019 he stated he shared the US Government s assessment that Iran was to blame for two attacks on oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman 177 Hunt supported the continued efforts of the UK Government to leave the European Union During the September 2018 Conservative conference Hunt likened the European Union to the former USSR saying It was the Soviet Union that stopped people leaving The lesson from history is clear If you turn the EU club into a prison the desire to get out won t diminish This comment was strongly criticised 178 While on a February 2019 Brexit related visit to Ljubljana he caused anger by congratulating his hosts on making really remarkable transformation from a Soviet vassal state to a modern European democracy In fact Slovenia as part of Yugoslavia had previously been non aligned 179 180 In November 2018 Hunt threatened the United Arab Emirates with serious diplomatic consequences after it sentenced British research student Matthew Hedges to life in prison for allegedly spying for the UK Hunt said that the verdict is not what we expect from a friend and trusted partner of the United Kingdom and runs contrary to earlier assurances 181 Hedges was released at the end of November after intense negotiations 182 Following the April 2019 arrest of WikiLeaks

Eliminating unnecessary deaths in a post pandemic NHS argues for candour a no blame culture and a sincere determination to treat every mistake as an opportunity to learn how to do better next time He
