MP for Witney
Liberal Democrat Spokesperson (Chief Secretary to the Treasury)
“Liberal Democrat MP for Witney, leading the party's treasury brief in opposition, with a largely party-loyal record and one notable rebellion.”
Charlie Maynard is the Liberal Democrat MP for Witney, elected on 4 July 2024. He serves as the Liberal Democrat Spokesperson on the Treasury (the party's lead on economic policy) in opposition and sits on several committees, including the Business and Trade Committee and a sub-committee on economic security, arms and export controls. His parliamentary career has included roles on the Committee of Selection and Statutory Instruments committees since his election.
Maynard is 100% loyal to his party but attends Parliament less often than the party average (12% vs 19%). He has one rebel vote. On policy, he has backed transgender rights and climate change measures and supported tougher prison sentencing, while generally opposing workers' rights protections, trade union powers and VAT changes; his votes on Universal Credit and mental health show a mix.
He has a substantial list of declared financial interests, including 26 entries for gifts, benefits and hospitality from UK sources; 5 entries of donations or other support for MP activities; 3 land or property interests; 2 gifts from sources outside the UK; 2 shareholdings; and 1 miscellaneous entry.
