David Ian Jones, born in March 1952, is a former solicitor and politician who represented Clwyd West in the House of Commons from 2005 to 2024. Originally elected as a Conservative, he briefly served as a Welsh Assembly Member for North Wales between 2002 and 2003 before entering Parliament. From 2012 to 2014, Jones held the Cabinet position of Secretary of State for Wales, becoming the first person to serve in that role having previously been a member of the Welsh Assembly. He later joined Reform UK following his departure from the Conservative Party.

Throughout his nearly two decades in Parliament, Jones focused on Welsh affairs and constitutional matters, drawing on his experience in both devolved and Westminster politics. His legal background as a solicitor informed his work on legislative issues during his time in office. David Jones writes commentary for Comment Central.
