Early Life
James Arbuthnot was born in Deal, Kent, the son of Sir John Arbuthnot, 1st Baronet and Margaret Jean Duff. He was educated at Wellesley House School in Broadstairs, Eton College (Captain of School), and Trinity College, Cambridge, where he obtained a law degree in 1974. He was called to the Bar by Lincoln's Inn in 1975 and became a practising barrister. An active member of the Chelsea Conservative Association, he was elected as a councillor to the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea in 1978 and remained a councillor until his election as a Member of Parliament (MP) in 1987. In 1980 he became the vice-chairman of the Chelsea Conservative Association. He fought the futile seat of Cynon Valley in the Labour heartland in industrial South Wales valleys at the 1983 General Election and was unsurprisingly hammered by Ioan Evans. A year later in 1984, Evans died and Arbuthnot fought the by-election; he was again defeated by the Labour candidate Ann Clwyd. Deal is a town in Kent, England. ...
