Hubbard-Miles was elected Member of Parliament for the newly created seat of Bridgend in the 1983 Conservative landslide.

[2] At the 1987 general election, Hubbard-Miles lost the Bridgend seat to Labour Party candidate Win Griffiths.

Win Griffiths said: "At the outset of my speech, I pay tribute to my predecessor in the Bridgend constituency, Mr. Peter Hubbard-Miles.

He showed his independence and fighting spirit during the selection process before the 1983 election, when he successfully took his local Conservative and Unionist Association to court and managed to stop the foisting on the constituency of a person who was rumoured to be a friend of the right hon.

On his death in 2005, he left his wife Pam and children Penny, Piers, Philippa, Pamela and Peter.
