A look at the five Tories who've put themselves forward to next week's vote for the Chair of the Commons Culture Media & Sport Select Committee - and an additional £14,876 p.a.
Graham Stuart, 53, MP for Beverley and Holderness since 2005 (Glenalmond College, Perth and BA Law, Selwyn College, Cambridge)
Graham was previously chair of the Education Select Committee. He's a cyclist, has competed in triathlons, and enjoys ski-ing - at least until Spring 2013, when he broke several bones ski-ing towards a restaurant in Chamonix.
