MP for Peterborough
“A largely party-loyal, centre-left Labour MP who backs unions and workers’ rights but has very low voting attendance and has rebelled on end-of-life amendments.”
Andrew Pakes is the Labour (Co-op) MP for Peterborough, elected in 2024. He currently serves on committees related to the Courts (Remote Hearings) Bill and Statutory Instruments, and has previously sat on the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee and on energy-related Bills.
His party loyalty stands at 98% (close to the party average of 99%), but his voting attendance is notably low at 12% (versus the 33% party average). He generally votes in favour of trade union powers and workers’ rights protections. In other areas, he has tended to vote against renter protections, bus services regulation, transgender rights, climate change measures and most mental health service votes.
Declared financial interests include miscellaneous entries; donations and other support for MP activities (including loans); land and property holdings; and visits outside the UK.
