Stuart Fraser is a politician in the City of London. He was chair of the Policy and Resources Committee there from 2008 until 2012.[1] He became involved as a politician following a successful career as a stockbroker. He is a director of Brewin Dolphin.[1]

Fraser was first elected to the Court of Common Council representing Coleman Street Ward in 1992.[2]

When he became chair of the City of London Policy and Resources Committee, he said that he viewed the 2008 financial crisis a "phoney crisis" and said that he "would still like the City of London to dominate the world."[1] In 2010 he claimed to be probably the most effective lobbyist in Britain.[3]
