Jeremy Hunt is currently the Chair of the Health and Social Care Select Committee.

In the aftermath of the 2010 General Election, Hunt was appointed Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, responsible for delivering the 2012 London Olympic Games. He will be best known to many of us for his former role as Secretary of State for Health, a position he held from 2012-2018, making him the longest serving Secretary of State for Health in British history.
