Kristan Frederick Hopkins (born 8 June 1963) is a British Conservative Party politician, who was elected at the 2010 general election as the Member of Parliament for Keighley in West Yorkshire. He serves as Vice-Chamberlain of the Household, a government whip. He was previously Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Department for Communities and Local Government and the former housing minister.
Hopkins served in Kenya, Northern Ireland and Germany as a Private in the Duke of Wellington's Regiment.
According to his CV, on leaving the Army he completed a degree in communications and cultural studies at a Leeds University before going on to lecture in media theory, communications and digital media. His CV gives neither dates nor places for any of these activities. He actually studied at Trinity and All Saints College in Horsforth, Leeds (now Leeds Trinity University). The college's degrees at that time were awarded externally by the University of Leeds.
Hopkins had stood twice for Parliament before being elected, when he was second to Linda Riordan in the 2005 election for the seat of Halifax, also in West Yorkshire and for the Leeds West Constituency in 2001.
