MP for Hemel Hempstead
“A party-loyal backbencher with a centre-left tilt and a focus on workers’ rights, who serves on the International Development Committee.”
David Taylor is a Labour (Co-op) MP for Hemel Hempstead, elected in 2024. He currently serves on the International Development Committee (from 2024-10-21) and previously sat on the Crime and Policing Bill committee (March–May 2025).
He has 100% party loyalty with no rebel votes, but his voting attendance is low at 15% versus the party average of 33%. His record shows a mix of positions on Universal Credit and a consistent pattern of supporting workers’ rights protections and trade union powers, along with a tendency to vote against measures affecting mental health services, prison sentencing, bus regulation and transgender rights, while backing renter protections and taking a balanced approach to climate measures.
Declared financial interests include two entries for visits outside the UK and one miscellaneous entry.
