Sir John Henry Hayes CBE (born 23 June 1958) is a British Conservative Party politician who has been Member of Parliament (MP) for South Holland and The Deepings since 1997. He has held five ministerial positions and six shadow ministerial positions.[2] Hayes was appointed as a Privy Councillor in April 2013 and a Knight Bachelor in November 2018.[3]
Hayes is considered a social conservative,[4] economic protectionist,[5] communitarian[6] and Eurosceptic.[7] He strongly supported Britain's withdrawal from the EU and has spoken regularly about his belief in conservative ideas and philosophy.[8] Hayes is known for speaking passionately and theatrically in the House of Commons chamber[9] and has been described as a "colourful character" who is "popular and influential on the Tory right".[10][9]
