MP for Bridlington and The Wolds
“Party-loyal Conservative backbencher who rarely rebels but has notably low attendance in Parliament.”
Charlie Dewhirst is a Conservative MP for Bridlington and The Wolds, elected in July 2024. He sits on the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee and serves on two bill committees in 2025—the Space Industry Indemnities Bill and the Licensing Hours Extensions Bill. In 2025 he also participated in committees examining public office accountability, football governance and fraud recovery.
He votes with his party on all votes (100% loyalty) but has a very low attendance rate (12%). On policy issues, he generally opposes workers’ rights protections, trade union powers, VAT changes, mental health funding, renter protections and climate change measures, while more often supporting tougher prison sentencing, regulation of bus services, and transgender rights.
Declares five financial interests: gifts, benefits and hospitality from UK sources (three entries); land and property (within or outside the UK); and visits outside the UK.
