MP for Witney
Liberal Democrat Spokesperson (Chief Secretary to the Treasury)
“Treasury-focused Lib Dem who stays party-loyal but has a mixed welfare record and a rare rebel vote on a Tobacco and Vapes Bill.”
Charlie Maynard is the Liberal Democrat MP for Witney, elected in 2024. He serves as the Liberal Democrat spokesperson on Treasury matters (Chief Secretary to the Treasury) in opposition since October 2025, and sits on several Commons committees, including the Business and Trade Committee and the sub-committee on Economic Security, Arms and Export Controls. He has previously served on the Committee of Selection and on Statutory Instruments committees, reflecting a background in parliamentary scrutiny.
Maynard has 100% party loyalty but low attendance (11%, below the party average of 19%), with one rebel vote. His voting on key topics is mixed on welfare, generally opposing workers’ rights protections and trade union powers, while typically supporting prison sentencing, bus services regulation, transgender rights, climate change measures, and mental health services.
Has declared 37 financial interests, with gifts, benefits and hospitality from UK sources forming the largest category, alongside land and property interests, shareholdings, and some outside-UK gifts.
