MP for Portsmouth North
“Party-loyal, centrist backbencher with active committee involvement and unusually low voting attendance.”
Amanda Martin is the Labour (Co-op) MP for Portsmouth North, elected in July 2024. She currently sits on several committees, including the General Cemetery Bill, Norwich Livestock Market Bill, Unauthorised Entry to Football Matches Bill, and Court of Referees, and she has previously sat on the Education Committee.
