Anna Mary Soubry (born 7 December 1956) is a British Conservative Party politician. She has been the Member of Parliament (MP) for Broxtowe in Nottinghamshire since the 2010 general election.
Soubry was Minister for Small Business from the 2015 general election until July 2016, also attending meetings of the Cabinet, but has now returned to the backbenches. She had previously served as a junior minister at the Ministry of Defence (from 2013 to 2015) and the Department of Health (2012 to 2013). The Independent's Simon Carr has stated that "she has a record of unusually free speech".
Soubry was born, the daughter of David Soubry, a Nottinghamshire garage-owner, in Lincoln Hospital, Lincolnshire (where her mother, Frances Coward/Soubry, worked) and was brought up in Dunham-on-Trent and Clumber Park, Nottinghamshire. Soubry attended the Henry Hartland Grammar school from 1968 to 1970. In 1970 it became the Hartland Comprehensive and she stayed there until 1975. She graduated in law from the University of Birmingham in 1979.
Soubry was involved in student politics in the 1970s, becoming the only Conservative member of the National Union of Students' executive committee.
