Steve Barclay

Agriculture Ministers and Government Officials

Stephen Paul Barclay, born May 3, 1972, in Lytham, Lancashire, is a British politician who served in cabinet positions under Prime Ministers Theresa May, Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak between 2018 and 2024. He was appointed Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs in November 2023, a move widely seen as a demotion from his previous role as Health Secretary, and served until 2024; his appointment drew controversy because his wife held an executive position at the water company Anglian Water, though he later announced a block on bonus payouts to executives of water companies found polluting rivers, lakes and seas.
