MP for Harlow
“A party-loyal Labour backbencher who rarely rebels but has low parliamentary attendance.”
Chris Vince is the Labour (Co-op) MP for Harlow, elected on 4 July 2024. He serves on a number of Commons committees, including Education and the Public Accounts Commission, and has previously sat on the Backbench Business Committee.
Vince has 100% party loyalty with zero rebel votes, but his attendance is only 19%, far below the party average of 34%. His votes show a pro-worker tilt—supporting workers' rights protections and trade union powers—and backing measures like bus services regulation, protest rights, and mental health services, with mixed votes on Universal Credit and VAT changes. He has tended to vote against transgender rights, prison sentencing expansion, and publicly owned rail.
Declares five financial interests: four miscellaneous entries and one gifts, benefits and hospitality from UK sources.
