MP for South Leicestershire
Alberto Costa is a Conservative MP for South Leicestershire, first elected in 2015. He currently serves on several Commons committees, including the Liaison Committee, Administration Committee, the Speaker's Committee for the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority, and the Committees on Privileges and Standards. He has previously sat on the Scottish Affairs Committee and the Justice Committee, and he served as Shadow Solicitor General in 2024.
He shows strong loyalty to his party with 99% voting alignment and 79% attendance. He sits on the centre-right of the spectrum and generally supports immigration controls, including the Rwanda deportation scheme, while voting against NHS funding increases and against tighter bus regulation; his votes on welfare, VAT, asylum, transgender rights, and trade union powers are mixed, indicating a combination of alignment with party positions and selective independence.
He has eight declared financial interests, including land and property (inside or outside the UK), miscellaneous entries, donations or loans for MP activities, family members employed, and visits outside the UK.
