In May 2010, Prime Minister David Cameron appointed him Secretary of State for Defence. In 2013, he published Rising Tides, a book analysing crucial world issues with Tony Blair, Condoleezza Rice, Malcolm Rifkind and Donald Rumsfeld.
Between July 2016 and July 2019, he served in Prime Minister Theresa May’s Government as Secretary of State for International Trade and President of the Board of Trade. As International Trade Secretary, he was tasked with creating the UK’s first Independent Trade Policy for forty years post-Brexit. During his time in post he strongly argued for global trade liberalisation, championed free trade, and supported a rules-based system with WTO reform. |

These beliefs were carried into 2020 when Dr Fox was nominated by Prime Minister Boris Johnson as the UK’s Nominee to be the Director-General of the World Trade Organisation.
In 2021, he introduced a Private Member’s Bill focused on improving the lives of people with Down Syndrome. After receiving government and cross-party support, the Bill is set to become law next year, establishing a Down Syndrome Act that will be the first of its kind in the world, improving the provision and outcomes in a range of areas (for example, maternity care, education, health and social care, and employment) for all those living with Down Syndrome in England. |
