Peter Fox (Welsh politician)

Peter Alan Fox OBE (born 24 December 1961) is a British Conservative politician who is the Shadow Cabinet Secretary for Transport and Rural Affairs in the Senedd.

He was made Vice Chairman of the Cardiff Capital Region Joint Cabinet, holding the Portfolio for Business and Innovation.

Fox stood as Conservative candidate in the 2007 Assembly elections for the Newport East constituency,[9] though failed to win.

[12] Soon into his term, he called for Welsh Government-funded free parking and voucher schemes for town centres in Monmouth to provide a much-needed boost to footfall, as well as leading the voices of concern regarding the relegation of the Abergavenny Women's Football Club.

[15][16] Fox then held a debate, calling on the Welsh Government to support the introduction of a fast-track and non-means tested process for home adaptations for those living with the disease in Wales.

[17] [18] Fox has spoken of the importance of local produce; he then introduced a proposed Bill in October 2021 – which gathered support from across Wales, including professors – calling for the prioritisation of local produce, as well as statutory requirements for origin labelling for food consumed in a hospitality setting, which passed the first round in the Senedd.

[19][20][21] In December 2024, after the resignation of Andrew RT Davies, Fox was appointed as Shadow Cabinet Secretary for Transport and Rural Affairs by new leader Darren Millar.
