Career
Luxton was born in the Falkland Islands and educated in the United Kingdom before moving back to the islands to manage his family"s farm at Chartres. In 1982 Argentina invaded and occupied the Falklands for 74 days during which time Luxton was identified by the Argentine military junta as a potential troublemaker. Luxton and his family returned to the islands at the end of the Falklands War.
Luxton"s portfolios in the Falkland Islands Government included Civil Aviation, Development Corporation, Aquaculture and Rural Development.
Luxton is noted for his strong criticism of Argentina"s policy on the Falkland Islands. Luxton resigned from the Legislative Assembly in 2011 due to his prologued absence from the Falklands, which was increasing the workload on other MLAs.
He was replaced by Ian Hansen in an uncontested by-election.
