MP for Hackney South and Shoreditch
“A long-serving Labour backbencher with high attendance who has shown notable rebellion on end-of-life amendments to a Terminally Ill Adults Bill.”
Dame Meg Hillier has represented Hackney South and Shoreditch since 2005 as a Labour (Co-op) MP. She is an active member of Parliament's committees, currently serving on the Treasury Committee and the Commons Liaison Committee, and has sat on the Public Accounts Committee and other select committees.
Her voting record shows very high party loyalty and attendance (above the party average), with 12 rebel votes. She generally supports welfare and public service funding (such as Universal Credit and NHS funding), backs regulation of bus services, and tends to oppose stricter immigration controls and the Rwanda deportation scheme; votes on VAT, transgender rights and trade union powers are mixed.
Declared financial interests include nine entries: seven miscellaneous items and two visits outside the UK.
