MP for Gosport
“A centrist Conservative MP with full party loyalty, high attendance and an active committee footprint.”
Dame Caroline Dinenage is the Conservative MP for Gosport, first elected in 2010. She sits on the Culture, Media and Sport Committee and the Liaison Committee, and since 2025 has served on the Courts (Remote Hearings) Bill committee. Earlier in her parliamentary career she has also served on the Women and Equalities Committee and the Panel of Chairs, reflecting a broad commitment to parliamentary scrutiny and committee work.
Dinenage records 100% party loyalty with a 75% attendance rate and eight rebel votes. Her voting pattern shows a generally pro-immigration controls stance and support for the asylum system and the Rwanda deportation scheme, but she often opposes bus services regulation and takes a mixed approach on NHS funding, prison sentencing, VAT changes and transgender rights. Notable rebel votes in 2025 include opposing Crime and Policing Bill amendments and End of Life bill clauses, with a party-line vote against a Health and Care Bill government amendment in 2022.
Declared financial interests include gifts, benefits and hospitality from UK sources (seven entries) and earnings from employment (one entry, with ongoing paid employment).
