Adam James Harold Holloway (born 29 July 1965) is a British Conservative Party politician and the Member of Parliament (MP) for Gravesham since 2005.
Born in Faversham, Kent, the son of the Revd Roger Holloway OBE (died 2010), Holloway was educated at Cranleigh School before going to Magdalene College, Cambridge where he studied social and political sciences, graduating as MA, before postgraduate studies at Imperial College London (MBA).
Prior to his election to Parliament, Holloway was commissioned in the British Army and served with the Grenadier Guards. During his military service he engaged in combat during the Gulf War and elsewhere, being promoted to the rank of Captain. After leaving the Army, he worked as an investigative journalist with ITN, World in Action, Panorama and the Sunday Times. His most well known work was an award winning documentary series for ITV called "No Fixed Abode" in which Holloway spent three months homeless on the streets of London in 1991, highlighting the plight of the capital's growing homeless population and particularly those with mental health issues.
