Mr Hunt was first elected to parliament at the 2005 general election, taking over from Virginia Bottomley as the MP for South West Surrey. It was an important role in the run-up to the 2012 London Olympics, during which he worked closely with Mr Johnson, who was Mayor of London at the time.

During his time as foreign secretary between 2018-19 Mr Hunt tried to free Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe who had been held in Iran on spying charges, which she always denied.
