Mark Andrew Menzies[1] (born 18 May 1971)[2] is a British politician who has been Member of Parliament (MP) for Fylde in Lancashire since 2010. As a member of the Conservative Party, he was the parliamentary private secretary (PPS) to Charles Hendry, Minister of State for Energy and Climate Change, before both were removed in the 2012 British cabinet reshuffle.[citation needed]
Menzies resigned as PPS to Alan Duncan, Minister of State for International Development, in March 2014 following allegations in the Sunday Mirror that Menzies had paid a Brazilian male escort for sex and tried to obtain the illegal drug mephedrone. Menzies said a number of the claims were "untrue".[3]
In April 2024 he resigned the Conservative Party whip in Parliament whilst claims of misuse of party funds, reported by The Times, were investigated. Menzies denied the allegations and said he complied with all the rules about funding declarations.[4] On 21 April he resigned from the Conservative Party and announced he would stand down as an MP at the next general election.
