MP for Mid Bedfordshire
“A party-loyal Conservative MP who works on financial scrutiny, with only one recorded rebellion.”
Blake Stephenson is the Conservative MP for Mid Bedfordshire, first elected on 4 July 2024. He currently sits on the Environmental Audit Committee and the Public Accounts Committee, and has previously served on several finance-related bill committees in Parliament.
He shows 100% party loyalty (above the party average) but has unusually low attendance, at 14% compared with a party average of 56%. His voting record is a mix of stances: he has generally opposed workers’ rights protections, trade union powers, mental health services and renter protections, and has opposed VAT changes, while voting for prison sentencing and for transgender rights. He has one notable rebel vote against his party on Lords hereditary peers clause in a House of Lords Committee in November 2024.
Declares nine financial interests, including gifts, benefits and hospitality from UK sources; miscellaneous interests; visits outside the UK; employment and earnings; ad hoc payments; and land or property holdings.
