MP for Llanelli
“A loyal Labour MP with strong attendance and a focus on equality and welfare, who has occasionally rebelled on end-of-life legislation.”
Dame Nia Griffith has been the Labour MP for Llanelli since 2005. She currently serves on the Women and Equalities Committee and has held junior ministerial roles in the Wales Office and the Department for Education (Equalities); she has also held several prominent shadow roles, including Shadow Secretary of State for Wales and Defence.
Griffith shows complete party loyalty and a high voting attendance. She has 7 rebel votes in total and sits on a centre-left spectrum. In policy terms, she generally supports welfare expansion and public services (e.g., Universal Credit, NHS funding) and is generally opposed to stricter immigration controls and Rwanda deportation; her record on VAT, transgender rights and trade unions is more mixed.
Declared interests include two trips outside the UK, a family member engaged in third-party lobbying, and land or property holdings.
