Scott Leslie Mann is a British Conservative Party politician. He has been the Member of Parliament (MP) for North Cornwall since May 2015. He previously represented the Wadebridge West ward on Cornwall Council.
In 2009, Mann was elected as county councillor for Wadebridge West, serving briefly on the North Cornwall District Council before it was absorbed by the now unitary authority that is Cornwall Council. In 2013, Mann retained his seat as councillor for Wadebridge West.
In February 2012, Mann resigned as deputy leader of the Conservative group on Cornwall Council in protest at £16 million of public money being used to fund a proposed sports stadium near Truro.
In 2014, Mann met with Conservative MP and Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport Sajid Javid in Cornwall to campaign for the continued support for community leisure centres which were at threat of losing funding from the local authority.
In 2013, Mann was named as the Conservative Party's prospective parliamentary candidate for North Cornwall in the run up to the 2015 General Election.
Mann is the Member of Parliament for the constituency of North Cornwall after winning the seat in the 2015 General Election. Scott received 21,689 votes, beating the previous MP, Dan Rogerson, by 6,621 with an approximate 9,000 vote swing. He became the first Conservative MP for the area since 1992, as well as contributing to all six Cornwall constituencies electing Conservative candidates—the first time in over a hundred years. Along with Sarah Newton he took his pledge of allegiance to government in the Cornish language.
