MP for Rutland and Stamford
Shadow Parliamentary Under Secretary (Home Office)
“A loyal Conservative MP with a centre-right tilt who has occasionally rebelled on terminally ill end-of-life amendments.”
Alicia Kearns is a Conservative MP for Rutland and Stamford, first elected in 2019. She serves as Shadow Parliamentary Under Secretary (Home Office) and Opposition Whip, and sits on the Northern Ireland Affairs Committee, reflecting a career that has included roles with the Foreign Affairs brief and related sub-committees.
Her voting record shows very high party loyalty (98%) but attendance below the party average (47%). She has a centre-right overall stance (56/100) and a notably mixed pattern across many policy areas, with a clear stance against the Rwanda deportation scheme and a tendency to vote for prison sentencing. She has also demonstrated occasional deviations from the party line on end-of-life legislation.
Declared financial interests total 10 items, including four miscellaneous entries, four entries for visits outside the UK, and two entries for gifts, benefits and hospitality from UK sources.
