MP for Norwich South
“Broadly party-loyal Labour MP with high attendance who occasionally rebels on education and public order issues.”
Clive Lewis is the Labour and Co-operative MP for Norwich South, first elected in 2015. He has served on environmental and science committees and has held shadow ministerial roles including defence, energy and climate change, and treasury responsibilities. He brings experience in science, environment and welfare issues to his parliamentary work.
He shows strong party loyalty overall (99%) and has attendance well above his party’s average (66% vs 34%). He has a small rebel footprint (15 rebel votes). On policy, his voting is mixed: he generally backs NHS funding and bus services regulation, but tends to oppose stricter immigration controls and measures affecting the asylum system, with a mixed record on universal credit, VAT, transgender rights and prison sentencing, and he has opposed the Rwanda deportation scheme.
Has 48 declared financial interests, including earnings and ad hoc payments, donations and loans related to MP activities, gifts and hospitality from UK sources, and holdings such as land/property and a shareholding.
