Damian Green, English journalist and politician, Minister of State for Immigration
Damian Howard Green is a British politician who served as First Secretary of State and Minister for the Cabinet Office from June to December 2017 in the Second May government. A member of the Conservative Party, he has been Member of Parliament (MP) for Ashford since 1997.

Green was born in Barry, Vale of Glamorgan, South Wales and studied philosophy, politics and economics at Balliol College, Oxford. After working as a journalist for the BBC, Channel 4 and The Times, he entered Parliament at the 1997 election by winning the seat of Ashford in Kent.

Green served in several shadow ministerial positions, including Shadow Transport Secretary and Shadow Education and Skills Secretary. He came to national prominence in November 2008 after being arrested and having his parliamentary office raided by police, although no case was brought. He served in the Cameron–Clegg coalition until July 2014 as Minister of State for Immigration and Minister of State for Police and Criminal Justice respectively.

Green was appointed as Secretary of State for Work and Pensions by Prime Minister Theresa May in July 2016. Following the June 2017 general election, he was appointed First Secretary of State and Minister for the Cabinet Office. After the results of an inquiry into allegations that he sexually harassed a woman and viewed pornography on a work computer were published, it was found that he had breached the ministerial code and he was instructed to resign from the Cabinet amidst the 2017 Westminster sexual misconduct allegations.
