Luke Pollard Biography

Luke Pollard is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on April 10, 1980 in Plymouth, England, United Kingdom. Pollard was born at Freedom Fields Hospital in Plymouth on 10 April 1980. He was born in Devon. His father was a submariner in the Royal Navy based out of HMNB Devonport, and his mother worked at College of St Mark and St John.

Pollard failed to contest the South West Devon constituency of 2010 and the Plymouth Sutton, Devonport constituency of 2015 respectively. He then won the seat in 2017 against Oliver Colvile, a Conservative incumbent with a swing 7.2%. Pollard is the first Plymouth MP born since Michael Foot, who represented Plymouth Devonport between 1945 and 1955. Pollard demanded more Royal Navy frigates in his maiden speech to parliament. He fought to keep HMS Ocean from being sold to Brazil, and for HMS Albion to be retained and HMS Bulwark to remain based in his Plymouth district. After the Royal Marines’ move from Stonehouse Barracks, Plymouth, he called for a new home for them. Pollard was a member of the Transport Select Committee from his appointment as shadow minister. He proposed to extend the M5 motorway from Plymouth. In June 2019, he presented his first private member’s bill, seeking funds to recycle thirteen nuclear submarines that are currently stored in his Plymouth constituency. The Nuclear Submarine Recycling Reporting Bill passed its first reading, but was not further advanced.

In July 2017, he was appointed as Parliamentary Private Secretary to Labour’s shadow environment secretary, Sue Hayman. Hayman cited reasons for appointing him including his advocacy for Plymouth’s fishing interests and his advocacy for Plymouth University academic Martin Attrill’s proposal for Plymouth Sound to become the UK’s first national marine park. Pollard convinced his party to adopt the establishment of national marine parks as policy. He was appointed as the Shadow Minister for Flooding and Coastal Communities on 30 July 2018, a part of the shadow environment team led by Hayman.

During the 2019 general election, Pollard’s constituency office was vandalised with homophobic slurs. He was re-elected, with former Conservative MP and Brexit Party MEP Ann Widdecombe having stood against him. He was promoted to shadow environment secretary after Hayman lost her seat in 2019. As shadow environment secretary, he argued for amendments to the 2020 Fisheries Bill to require fish from the UK’s quota to land in UK ports and to give more quota access to smaller-scale fishers. In the 2020 Labour Party leadership election and deputy leadership election, he nominated Keir Starmer and Rosena Allin- Khan and endorsed Starmer and Angela Rayner. He was described by the i newspaper as a “rising star” who could be re-appointed as shadow environment secretary or made shadow transport secretary if Starmer became leader of the Labour Party. Pollard remained in his post as shadow environment secretary’s in Keir Starmer’s Shadow Cabinet.

After serving as an advisor to Labour politicians David Jamieson & George Foulkes, he became Edelman’s account director. From 2009 to 2013, he was head of public affairs at the Association of British Travel Agents. This role included lobbying for aspects of the Consumer Rights Directive 2011 relating to the travel industry. He then became head of European development at ABTA until 2014. From 2015 to his election in 2017, he was Field Consulting’s director. Pollard, who was a director at Field Consulting from 2015 to his election in 2017, was also an organizer for the campaign for the erecting of a memorial in Plymouth for former Labour leader Michael Foot.
