MP for Stockton West
Shadow Minister (Crime, Policing and Fire)
Matt Vickers is a Conservative MP for Stockton West, first elected in December 2019. He currently serves as Shadow Minister for Crime, Policing and Fire (appointed 2024) and has participated in multiple parliamentary committees, including Home Affairs and Justice, focusing on security, crime and immigration issues throughout his parliamentary career.
He shows strong party loyalty (100%) with attendance around the party average and a small number of rebel votes, placing him on the centre-right of the spectrum. On key issues, he generally supports immigration controls and the asylum system, has backed the Rwanda deportation scheme and tougher prison sentencing, and has generally voted in favour of transgender rights. His positions on Universal Credit, VAT changes, NHS funding, and trade union powers show a mix of approaches rather than a single pattern.
Declared financial interests include seven items: three entries for visits outside the UK, two miscellaneous entries, one employment/earnings entry, and one entry for gifts, benefits and hospitality from UK sources.
