As such, he is also one of the few MPs to have been featured on North Korean state television.
Davies is a former Investment Banker, he is a member of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Financial Markets and Services.
A champion of ‘reasonable capitalism’ as he calls it, he is tipped for a front line career in Conservative politics. He was married in 2019.
