Frognal & Hampstead Town Ward Conservatives
Champagne Reception with The Rt. Hon Lord Hammond of Runnymede - Former Chancellor of the Exchequer Hosted by Baroness Finn of Swansea
Lord Hammond was elected to the commons in 1997 and served in the Shadow Cabinets of Michael Howard and David Cameron as Shadow Secretary of State for Work and Pensions from 2005 to 2007 and Shadow Chief Secretary to the Treasury in 2005 and from 2007 to 2010. After the formation of the Coalition Government in May 2010, he was appointed Secretary of State for Transport.
He was promoted to be Secretary of State for Defence, before being further promoted in July 2014 to become Foreign Secretary. In July 2016, after Theresa May succeeded David Cameron as Prime Minister, he was appointed Chancellor of the Exchequer. As Chancellor, Hammond suggested that the government may begin a reduction in austerity measures. In July 2019, he spoke in an interview with Andrew Marr of his plans to tender his resignation to Theresa May should Boris Johnson become the new Leader of the Conservative Party and Prime Minister, on the grounds that, should he be part of the Johnson Cabinet, collective responsibility would require him to support a no-deal Brexit.
With the later selection of Boris Johnson as the next Prime Minister, he tendered his resignation to Theresa May. He had the Conservative whip removed in September 2019 for voting against Boris Johnson's government and subsequently sat as an independent MP, whilst remaining a member of the party. He did not stand for re-election in the 2019 election.
