MP for Burnley
Oliver Ryan is a Labour (Co-op) MP for Burnley, first elected in 2024. He serves on the Courts (Remote Hearings) Bill committee and the Speaker's Advisory Committee on Works of Art, and has previously sat on the Public Accounts Committee and several Finance Bills committees. His parliamentary record shows a focus on financial and procedural work within Parliament.
His voting pattern shows 100% party loyalty and a centrist stance, with attendance notably lower than peers (14% vs 33%). On key issues, he has generally supported workers' rights protections, trade union powers, VAT changes, and renter protections, while voting against Universal Credit, prison sentencing measures, bus services regulation, and mental health services, with transgender rights and climate change measures showing mixed positions.
