Hilary James Wedgwood Benn is a Labour Party Member of Parliament for Leeds Central since 1999. He has served as Shadow Foreign Secretary since May 2015.
He made a great impression on his visit to see the new University Training College under construction at Aycliffe. He made a point of speaking to everyone with a friendly approachable manner and there is no doubt his position as a senior member of Parliament is down to his skill as a good politician and communicator.
