Crispin Blunt

Crispin Blunt (born 1960) is a Conservative politician. He was born in Germany to English parents, educated at Sandhurst and Durham, and served as an army officer. Since 1997 he has been MP for Reigate, Surrey.

In August 2010, he announced that he was leaving his wife, in order "to come to terms with his homosexuality". Blunt's voting record in Parliament had previously been broadly unsympathetic towards gay rights, though slightly more favourable when compared to the majority of his Conservative colleagues.
