MP for West Worcestershire
Shadow Minister (Business and Trade)
“A loyal, economics-focused MP with a strong attendance record who now serves as Shadow Minister for Business and Trade.”
Dame Harriett Baldwin has served as the Conservative MP for West Worcestershire since 2010. She currently sits on the Treasury Committee and, from November 2024, serves as Shadow Minister for Business and Trade, continuing a career focused on economic and financial policy alongside earlier roles such as Shadow Minister for Development.
She shows very high party loyalty (99%) and above-average attendance (79%). On policy, she generally backs tighter immigration controls and supported the Rwanda deportation scheme, while voting against greater regulation of bus services and against NHS funding increases. She has shown some independence on health-related legislation, rebelling on several Health and Care Bill votes.
Has declared 13 financial interests, including gifts, benefits and hospitality from UK and overseas sources, employment earnings and ad hoc payments, and visits outside the UK.
