Hilary Benn – 68

Since winning a 1999 by-election, Hilary Wedgwood Benn has served as Leeds Central’s Member of Parliament. In the cabinet, he served under Gordon Brown and Tony Blair. After graduating from the University of Sussex, Benn worked as a research officer with the Association of Scientific, Technical and Managerial Staffs (ASTMS).

Benn was most notably part of the research team working on the 1975 National Referendum Campaign. His involvement with the Labour Party started in 1980, and up until 2021, he chaired the now-abolished Committee on the Future Relationship with the European Union. Benn is married to Sally Christina Clark, and they share four children. He’s a practicing vegetarian and teetotaler.
