MP for Mid Bedfordshire
“A party-loyal Conservative MP with unusually low parliamentary attendance and a single notable rebellion over Lords reform.”
Blake Stephenson is a Conservative MP for Mid Bedfordshire, elected in July 2024. He serves on the Environmental Audit Committee (since 2024) and the Public Accounts Committee (since 2025), and has previously sat on finance-related Bills committees in 2025–26.

On policy topics, he has generally voted against workers’ rights protections, trade union powers, VAT changes, mental health services and climate change measures, while generally voting for prison sentencing, bus services regulation, and transgender rights.
Eight declared financial interests, including gifts, benefits and hospitality from UK sources; miscellaneous entries; employment and earnings; land and property; and visits outside the UK.
