Lucy Frazer QC (born 17 May 1972),[1] is a British barrister and Conservative Party politician. She has been the Member of Parliament (MP) for South East Cambridgeshire since May 2015.[2]
Early life
Frazer, was born and raised in Yorkshire the descendant of Jewish immigrants. Her grandfather was Dr. Hyman Frazer CBE, a mathematician, barrister and educationalist,[3] Headmaster of the Gateway College in Leicester, [4][5] and her father, Colin Peter Frazer, was a partner at collapsed Leeds legal firm Fox Hayes.[6]
Education
Frazer was educated at Leeds Girls' High School,[7] an independent school in Headingley, a suburb of the City of Leeds, followed by Newnham College, Cambridge, where she was President of the Cambridge Union.
Life and career
Frazer worked as a barrister in commercial law, including being a member of the legal team in the Fox Hayes v. Financial Services Authority court case in 2010,[8] and went on to become a QC at the age of forty.[9] Despite her parliamentary selection process attracting controversy,[10] she has been tipped for ministerial position and named by Michael Gove as "one of the future stars of the Conservative Party.” [11]
Frazer apologised for any offence she caused with comments in her maiden speech,[12] in which she jokingly described Oliver Cromwell's sale of Scots into colonial slavery as "an answer to the West Lothian question – but not one, of course, that I would recommend".[13][14]
Personal life
Frazer is married to David Leigh, and have two children.[15] They divide their time between London and their constituency home at Snailwell, Cambridgeshire.[16]
