Christopher Paul Davies[1] (born 18 August 1967)[2] is a British politician who served as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Brecon and Radnorshire from 2015 to 2019.
Davies won the seat in the 2015 general election when he defeated incumbent Liberal Democrat Roger Williams.
[3] On 22 March 2019, he pleaded guilty to two counts of fraud concerning parliamentary expenses;[4] on 21 June he was removed from office by a recall petition.
[5] Davies stood again for the Conservatives in the ensuing 1 August by-election, but lost to the Liberal Democrat candidate Jane Dodds.
[6] He worked as a rural auctioneer and estate agent before managing a large veterinary practice in Hay-on-Wye.
[11][12] He was a member of the Welsh Affairs Select Committee, and in 2018 was appointed Parliamentary Private Secretary to Stuart Andrew and Nick Bourne in the Wales Office.
Davies said he made an "honest mistake" in the expenses form he submitted for photographs at his Builth Wells constituency office.
