MP for St Ives
“A party-loyal backbencher who rarely rebels but has notably low attendance in Parliament.”
Andrew George is a Liberal Democrat MP for St Ives, elected on 4 July 2024. He serves on the Health and Social Care Committee (since October 2024) and has a long parliamentary background, with previous committee work and several shadow minister roles dating back to the late 1990s.
He shows 100% party loyalty with no rebel votes, but his attendance is well below the party average (12% vs 19%). His voting record spans both sides of policy: he has opposed expanding trade union powers and workers’ rights protections and generally opposed VAT changes, while supporting prison sentencing, bus services regulation, transgender rights, climate measures and mental health services. His stance on Universal Credit is mixed, and his votes on renter protections vary.
He has six declared financial interests, including miscellaneous entries, earnings from employment (ongoing paid employment) and visits outside the UK.
