Adam James Harold Holloway (born 29 July 1965) is a British Conservative Party politician who served as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Gravesham from 2005 to 2024.

[3] Before entering Parliament, Holloway served in the British Army's Grenadier Guards for five years, seeing action in the Gulf War and in Germany.

After the Army he was a reporter for ITN and ITV where he produced the award-winning programme "No Fixed Abode" (1991), in which he spent three months homeless on the streets of London.

He returned to Afghanistan, visited Nicaragua during the Nicaraguan Revolution and taught in Soweto and South Africa during his university summer holidays.

[4] After graduating from university, Holloway attended the Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst, from which he was commissioned into the British Army's Grenadier Guards in 1987.

[11] His other journalistic work includes living in the Sangatte refugee camp in Calais while pretending to be an economic migrant and being a war reporter in Iraq alongside Marie Colvin of The Sunday Times.

[12][13] He delivered his maiden speech in the House of Commons on 28 June 2005, praising his constituency' with Andrew Rosindell and his dog both famously bachelors s multicultural community and raising issues of local crime.

[14] In a 2009 report written by Holloway, he described how some of the claims about Iraq having weapons of mass destruction, used to support the UK Government's case for war in 2003, originated from an Iraqi taxi driver.

In October 2010 he was appointed as Parliamentary Private Secretary (PPS) to David Lidington, Minister of State for Europe and NATO in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.

[23] When speaking about his decision he said: "I'm not now prepared to go back on my words to my constituents and I'm really staggered that loyal people like me have actually been put in this position," considering that he had "never voted against the party line.

[34] He was criticised by political rivals in June 2017 after he was seen campaigning with Janice Atkinson, then an independent MEP for South East England and former UKIP member, who had been suspended from her former party after a fraud enquiry was started relating to her expenses, and who had subsequently become vice-president of Marine Le Pen's far-right European Parliament grouping.

After being criticised by rival politicians, Holloway defended his position during the debate by pointing to his personal experience of being in the army and having spent several months sleeping on the streets as part of the ITV documentary "No Fixed Abode" (1991).

[41][better source needed] In July 2021, Holloway was one of five Conservative MPs found by the Commons Select Committee on Standards to have breached the code of conduct by writing to the Lord Chief Justice to try to influence a judge not to release character statements they had written for former Conservative MP Charlie Elphicke, who had previously been found guilty of three counts of sexual assault and sentenced to two years in prison.

[45] In April 2022, it was revealed that Holloway provided a character statement which was used as part of the defence case in the trial of former Conservative MP Imran Ahmad Khan, who was found guilty of sexually assaulting a 15-year-old boy.

Holloway was a member of All-party parliamentary groups (APPGs) for Bahrain, Belize, Defence and Security Issues, Fit and Healthy Childhood, Foreign Affairs, Kazakhstan, Kurdistan in Turkey and Syria, Kyrgyzstan, London's Planning and Built Environment, Mongolia, Ukraine and Yoga in Society.
