MP for Peterborough
“A party-loyal Labour MP who backs workers’ rights but has occasionally broken ranks on end-of-life legislation.”
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 his role is that of a backbench MP focused on parliamentary oversight. His voting record shows strong party loyalty with occasional rebellions, including on end-of-life legislation.
His party loyalty is high at 98% (just below the party average of 99%), while his voting attendance is notably low at 12% (compared with a 33% party average). He generally supports workers’ rights protections and trade union powers, but has voted against aspects of mental health services, climate change measures, renter protections, transgender rights and bus services regulation. He has mixed votes on Universal Credit and VAT, and has recorded five rebel votes on amendments to the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill in June 2025, indicating some independence from the party line.
Declared six financial interests: two entries related to donations and other support for his MP activities, two miscellaneous entries, one entry for land and property (within or outside the UK), and one entry for visits outside the UK.
