Kevin John Foster[1] (born 31 December 1978) is a British Conservative Party politician who was the Member of Parliament for Torbay from 2015 to 2024.

[2] Foster served under Home Secretary Priti Patel as Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Safe and Legal Migration from 2019 until September 2022.

[6] Foster stood as the Conservative candidate in Coventry South at the 2010 general election, coming second with 33.4% of the vote behind the incumbent Labour Party MP Jim Cunningham.

[14] This investigation was later dropped in 2017 by the Crown Prosecution Service as although "the returns may have been inaccurate, there is insufficient evidence to prove to the criminal standard that any candidate or agent was dishonest".

[24] In February 2022, Foster received widespread criticism for stating on Twitter that Ukrainian refugees could use the seasonal worker scheme in order to get into the UK.

Scottish First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, and Shadow Foreign Secretary, David Lammy, were among the critics, with the latter saying that Foster's comments showed 'a shameful moral vacuum at the heart of Government'.

The 27-year age gap between Foster and Noonan has drawn comparisons to Emmanuel Macron, the President of France, who is also substantially younger than his partner.
