MP for Romford
“A high-attendance, party-loyal backbencher with a clear stance on immigration and border policy, and an occasional rebellion on health regulations.”
Andrew Rosindell is the Member of Parliament for Romford, first elected in 2001. He represents Reform UK and has held a range of parliamentary roles, including serving on the Foreign Affairs Committee and as a Shadow Parliamentary Under Secretary for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs (2024–2026), alongside positions on the Panel of Chairs and other committees.
He shows strong loyalty to his party with 98% voting alignment and a higher attendance rate (60%) than the party average (40%). His record mixes support for tighter immigration controls and the Rwanda deportation scheme with opposition to NHS funding and certain welfare changes, and he votes variably on health and other issues.
Declared financial interests include donations and other support for MP activities, visits outside the UK, and gifts, benefits and hospitality from UK sources.
