Conor Burns

Sir Conor Burns (born 24 September 1972) is a British politician who served as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Bournemouth West from 2010 to 2024. A member of the Conservative Party, he served as Minister of State for Trade Policy from 2019 to 2020 and again in 2022 and Minister of State for Northern Ireland from 2021 to 2022. Born in Belfast, Burns moved to Hertfordshire aged eight. He worked in finance and communications before being elected for Bournemouth West at the 2010 general election. He served as Parliamentary Private Secretary (PPS) to Secretary of State for Northern Ireland Owen Paterson from 2010 to 2012, when he resigned due to his opposition to the House of Lords Reform Bill 2012. He served as PPS to Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson, before resigning from the post in 2018 because he wanted to speak more openly on other areas of policy. Following Johnson’s appointment as Prime Minister, Burns served as Minister of State for Trade Policy. He resigned in 2020 after an inquiry by the Commons Select Committee on Standards into allegations that he had threatened to use parliamentary privilege in connection with a dispute involving his father; the allegation was upheld. In the September 2022 British cabinet reshuffle, following Liz Truss becoming Prime Minister, Conor Burns was appointed Minister of State for Trade Policy. He was dismissed from the position on 7 October 2022, after an allegation of misconduct was made against him at the 2022 Conservative Party Conference, which led to the Conservative whip being suspended in the House of Commons. A subsequent investigation found no evidence of misconduct, and the whip was restored on 3 December 2022.
