John Mungo MP

'''John Hugh Mungo was born in Charing Cross Hospital in Hammersmith, London, on September 9th 1960. '''

'''His father, James, was an artist who made money running a carpet firm, while his mother was a teacher (his older brother, also named James, is now a banker). Both his parents were from military backgrounds. '''

'''Growing up in suburbia, Mungo won a scholarship to Oxford, going up to New College in 1979. Though considering a career as an art historian, he was enticed by political radicals into joining an anarchic group before - as he put it - "growing up and joining reality, and the Conservative Party" upon graduating. '''

'''After his first degree, Mungo stayed at University, adding a degree in law to his curriculum vitae. '''

'''Having suddenly to make a living, upon entering what he called "pseudo-civilisation", he worked for the Daily Telegraph as a legal correspondent before starting his own PR company. '''

'''John Mungo has a daughter from a previous relationship, but has never married. In his spare time he enjoys cooking, fine wines and is obsessed with the game of golf. '''

''' A backbench Conservative MP since the 1995 General Election, John Mungo represents Tunbridge Wells. '''
