Sir Julian William Hendy Brazier TD (born 24 July 1953) is a British Conservative Party politician.

He was employed by Charter Consolidated Ltd between 1975 and 1984, being involved in economic research from 1975 to 1977 and corporate finance from 1977 to 1981, and was on the executive committee of the board from 1981 to 1984, when he became a management consultant with HB Maynard International,[3] now owned by Accenture.

Brazier contested the 1983 general election in Berwick-upon-Tweed, but was defeated by the Liberal MP Alan Beith by 8,215 votes.

He contested the Conservative safe seat of Canterbury at the 1987 general election following the retirement of the sitting MP, David Crouch.

He remained Shephard's PPS following the 1992 general election in her new capacity as the Secretary of State for Employment, but he resigned in 1993 as a protest against defence cuts.

[5] Beginning in 1998,[6] Brazier led a campaign opposing the closure of Kent and Canterbury Hospital and in support of its Cancer Centre.

[7] This included multiple adjournment debates in the Commons,[8] questions to the minister, and taking part in public demonstrations.

[17] In 1996 he returned, organising the British delegation to an Anglo-Lebanese conference on Freedom and Democracy held in defiance of the Syrian-backed regime but attended by the UK and US ambassadors.

[18] He later returned in 2006 as UK representative at an international protest against the treatment of Lebanese lawyer, Dr Muhamad Mugraby, who had exposed the arrest and illegal detentions during the Syrian-dominated era.

[21] Because of his earlier career, Brazier has a special interest in the armed forces and was an advocate of military issues in the House of Commons.

[22] In 2010, Brazier was appointed by Prime Minister David Cameron as a member of a three person commission to plan the future of Britain's reserve armed forces.

[41][42] Brazier had been driving on the wrong side of the road approaching a sharp bend when he hit a motorcyclist, 42-year-old Carlo Civitelli, near Siena.
