She served as Parliamentary Secretary for the Cabinet Office from January 2018, a position she previously held under David Cameron from 2012 to 2013.
Early life
Smith was born in Ashford, Kent, and her family moved to Norfolk when she was three years old. She grew up in Stoke Ferry and attended comprehensive schools in Swaffham and Methwold. She read English Literature at the University of York after a gap year with former Conservative Education Secretary Gillian Shephard. She did summer work for Bernard Jenkin.
She joined Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu as a leadership consultant after graduating from York University. She consulted private companies, government agencies, and public agencies.
At the general election in 2007, Smith was elected Conservative Party candidate for Norwich North's constituency. On secondment, she resigned from her job as a member of the Conservative Central Office, deciding to "lay out concrete plans to put our policies into place."
Personal life
Smith is a dedicated volunteer and fundraiser for several charities, including Cancer Research UK and Sport Relief. She is an atheist.
In 2013, Smith married Sandy McFadzean, a financial advisor. In 2016, they had their first child, a boy. A daughter was the first child of the couple in 2019.
Smith revealed in November 2020 that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer. She revealed that after chemotherapy and surgery, she was cancer-free in June 2021.
Parliamentary career
Smith became the Conservative candidate in the by-election election following Labour MP Ian Gibson's resignation following the MPs' expense scandal, and then became the youngest member of the House of Commons. When the parliamentary break ended in October, she took her place in the House of Commons.
She was named Economic Secretary to the Treasury in a ministerial reshuffle on October 14, 2011, becoming the youngest minister serving in government at the time. Smith was hired to the position because David Cameron incorrectly assumed she was a qualified accountant, according to The Guardian newspaper.
She appeared on BBC Two's current affairs programme Newsnight on June 26, 2012, and was interviewed about Chancellor George Osborne's decision to postpone plans to raise fuel duty. Jeremy Paxman, a journalist, challenged the apparent shift in her views on fuel duty. The interview drew a lot of attention from journalists and other political figures, and Smith's "mauling" and "humiliation" were the main themes. Politicians, including John Prescott and Nadine Dorries, challenged Osborne's decision for bringing a junior minister onto the program in his place.
During a ministerial reshuffle in September 2012, Smith was named Parliamentary Undersecretary of State at the Cabinet Office.
She was chastised by transparency campaigners for refusing to disclose civil servants and public sector bodies accountable for the Government Procurement Service's £77 million in flights. She resigned from the Cabinet Office in October 2013 to "concentrate on the most important part of my work: being the Member of Parliament for Norwich North."
She was given the Grassroot Diplomat Initiative Award in May 2014 for establishing and promoting the Norwich for Jobs campaign, which resulted in the creation of over 400 jobs and apprenticeships for young people in her constituency.
Smith was chastised by political commentators for quoting a constituent's letter in her election literature during the campaign for the 2015 general election. According to the letter, she appeared to be "more like a Socialist than a Conservative." Smith replied, "I am not a socialist." I am a proud Conservative. My contribution, according to the letter writer, can be used across party lines."
She retained her Norwich North seat in the snap 2017 general election, winning 21,900 votes ahead of Labour's Chris Jones by 577 votes. Following the election, she was named as Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, under James Brokenshire.
Smith was named Parliamentary Secretary for the Constitution in January 2018 during Theresa May's reshuffle of the British cabinet, a position she had previously held under David Cameron. Boris Johnson promoted Smith as Minister of State in February 2020.
Smith was the victim of an anthrax scare in August 2019, in which she was sent a box of white powder.
Smith became Minister of State for Disabled People, Work, and Health at the Department of Work and Pensions in September 2021.
Prime Minister Liz Truss named Smith Secretary of State for Work and Pensions on September 6, 2022. Following her appointment, she was sworn-in as a member of the Privy Council on September 13th.
Smith returned to the backbenches on October 25th, 2022, following Rishi Sunak's ascension to Prime Ministership.
