Paul Stuart Scully (born 29 April 1968) is a British Conservative Party politician. He was elected as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Sutton and Cheam in 2015,^[3] and held the seat in the 2017 general election.^[4]

He was educated at Bedford School and the University of Reading.^[5]. Scully joined the Conservative Party after the 1997 general election, having voted for the Referendum Party.^[6]

Prior to being elected as Member of Parliament he ran a number of small businesses and had been a councillor in the Carshalton Central ward of the London Borough of Sutton between 2006-10^[7] and the Leader of the Opposition on Sutton Council for three of his four years as a councillor.

He is a member of the International Development Committee and the chair of its sub-committee overseeing the work of Independent Commission for Aid Impact (ICAI). He is also a member of the Petitions Committee on whose behalf he has led a number of debates.

In September 2017, he was appointed as the Prime Minister's Trade Envoy to Brunei, Thailand and Burma and was the Parliamentary Private Secretary to Baroness Evans, the Leader of the House of Lords between November 2017 and January 2018.

He is "very proud" of his Burmese heritage.^[8] In a parliamentary debate on 22 October 2015, he stated, "I am, I believe, the first Member of the British Parliament to be of Burmese heritage."^[9] He visited Myanmar for the first time in February 2016.^[10] He has been active in human rights issues in Burma, especially the Rohingya refugee situation and is the Co-Chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Burma. He has written about his experience of being one of the first British MPs to visit the Kutupalong refugee camp during the 2017 mass movement.^[11]

He campaigned for a Leave vote in the 2016 EU referendum,^[12]^[13] and is a supporter of the campaign group Leave Means Leave.^[14]

On 15 December 2017, he was confirmed as the Conservative Party's new Vice Chairman for London, following the sacking of Stephen Hammond two days earlier.^[15]
