Sir Graham Bright

Sir Graham Bright

Sir Graham Frank James Bright (born 2 April, 1942) is a British Conservative Party (UK) politician and businessman.

Sir Graham became an MP by gaining Luton East from Labour at the 1979 general election. After constituency boundary changes, he transferred to Luton South at the 1983 general election, holding the seat until his defeat at the 1997 general election by Labour's Margaret Moran.

Graham Bright introduced a Private Member's Bill to the House of Commons in 1983. This was passed as the Video Recordings Act 1984 that required all commercial video recordings offered for sale or for hire within the UK to carry a classification.

Bright was also featured in the infamous comedy programme, Brass Eye, although after successfully complaining to the Independent Television Commission clips featuring him were removed from all subsequent broadcasts.

He is married to Lady Valerie Bright and has one son Rupert.
