Andrew Bingham

Bingham was appointed the Parliamentary private secretary to Minister of State for the Armed Forces Mark Francois MP in July 2014.

[7] He worked as a Director in his father's business before being elected to parliament, supplying engineering equipment to companies across the High Peak and North West England.

[11] He stated that he knew his decision would 'upset' people but "felt after much thought and consideration that marriage as the union of one man and woman has existed for thousands of years and [he] couldn't support the changes proposed".

[12] In July 2014, Bingham was appointed to the Government, to be Parliamentary private secretary to the newly promoted Minister of State for the Armed Forces Mark Francois.

[13] Before becoming bound by the Ministerial Code, as a Parliamentary Private Secretary in the Ministry of Defence, Mr Bingham's various rebellions against the Government once led to one national newspaper to describe him as a 'serial rebel'.

[25] Amongst other things,[26] Bingham raised the issue at PMQs[27][28] and organised an action day across the constituency in conjunction with the National Childbirth Trust.

Negotiations between Bingham, Nestlé and the various key stakeholders in the Health Service had begun four years earlier and had stalled at one point but the successful purchase of the land was completed at the end of 2017.

[citation needed] During his tenure, Bingham organised a number of local events either to raise money for charity or to support activities in the High Peak.
