MP for Hackney South and Shoreditch
“A long-serving Labour MP with high attendance and strong party loyalty, who has occasionally rebelled on end-of-life care amendments.”
Dame Meg Hillier has represented Hackney South and Shoreditch since 2005 as a Labour and Co-operative MP. She currently sits on the Treasury Committee and the Commons Liaison Committee, with a parliamentary career focused on public spending, accounting and scrutiny.
Her voting record shows very high party loyalty (99%) and above-average attendance (71%). She sits on the centre-left of the spectrum (43/100). She generally supports Universal Credit and NHS funding, and backs bus services regulation, while tending to oppose stricter immigration controls and the Rwanda deportation scheme; her votes on VAT, transgender rights, trade unions and prison sentencing are mixed, and she generally votes against the asylum system.
Declares nine financial interests: seven miscellaneous entries and two entries for visits outside the UK.
