David Henry Rutley[2] (born 7 March 1961[3]) is a British Conservative Party politician. He is the Member of Parliament (MP) for Macclesfield, and was first elected at the 2010 general election.

Since his election to Parliament in May 2010, Rutley was elected to the influential Treasury Select Committee and served on the Committee until his appointment in November 2010 as Parliamentary Private Secretary to Damian Green MP, the Minister for Immigration.

He is also the Vice Chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on National Parks, as well as being a member of several other APPGs, including those on: China, Pharmaceuticals and Mountaineering.

Before his election to Parliament, Rutley spent most of his career in business, and worked as a senior executive in major companies including: Asda (where he ran the Home Shopping and E-commerce businesses) and PepsiCo International, and then latterly, Halifax General Insurance and Barclays.

He has also worked as a Special Adviser (1994–96) in the last Conservative Government at the Treasury, the Cabinet Office and the Ministry of Agriculture. During this time, Rutley helped shape the Budget and initiate the first ever White Paper for rural England. [4]
