MP for South East Cornwall
“A party-loyal backbencher with a centre-left focus on health and workers’ rights, notable for very high party loyalty alongside unusually low voting attendance.”
Anna Gelderd is the Labour (Co-op) MP for South East Cornwall, elected on 4 July 2024. She currently sits on the committee for the Controlled Drugs (Procedure for Specification) Bill, and has previously served on the Environmental Audit Committee and on a committee for the transfer of functions of the Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education. Her parliamentary work shows a centre-left focus with emphasis on workers’ rights, health services and regulatory policy.
She has 100% party loyalty with no rebel votes, but voting attendance is notably low at 14% (below the party average of 34%). On policy areas she generally backs workers’ rights protections and trade union powers, as well as mental health services and VAT changes. She has tended to vote against protest rights and transgender rights, and often votes against publicly owned railways and stricter prison sentencing, with mixed positions on Universal Credit and bus services regulation.
Declared financial interests include four entries for visits outside the UK.
