MP for Witney
Liberal Democrat Spokesperson (Chief Secretary to the Treasury)
“A loyal Lib Dem MP who acts as the party’s Treasury spokesperson and has one notable rebellion against the party.”
Charlie Maynard is the Liberal Democrat MP for Witney, elected on 4 July 2024. He serves as the Liberal Democrat Spokesperson for the Treasury, a role he has held in opposition since October 2025, and sits on several committees related to business, trade and economic scrutiny. Since entering Parliament he has served on committees including Statutory Instruments (Select and Joint) and the Water (Special Measures) Bill, as well as the Business and Trade committees.
Maynard demonstrates 100% party loyalty but has a low voting attendance of 13% (below the party average of 21%), with a single rebel vote against the party. His record shows a tendency to vote against workers’ rights protections and union powers, oppose certain protest rights and bus services regulation, and oppose VAT changes, while voting in favour of prison sentencing and transgender rights. Votes on Universal Credit, mental health services, and renter protections are mixed.
Maynard has 40 declared interests: 26 entries covering gifts, benefits and hospitality from UK sources; 6 entries for donations or loans tied to MPs’ activities; 3 entries for land and property; 2 entries for gifts from sources outside the UK; 2 shareholdings; and 1 miscellaneous entry.
