MP for West Dunbartonshire
“A party-loyal Labour MP with unusually low attendance who has rebelled on end-of-life amendments and crime-related clauses.”
Douglas McAllister is the Labour (Co-op) MP for West Dunbartonshire, elected in 2024. He serves on the Scottish Affairs Committee (since October 2024) and has previously sat on a Public Office (Accountability) Bill committee (November–December 2025). His roles place him in focus on Scotland–UK relations and public accountability in Parliament.
He has very high party loyalty (99%) but low attendance (18%, well below the party average of 34%). His voting record places him on the centre-left, with a pattern of backing workers' rights protections, trade union powers, protest rights and renter protections. He has mixed voting on Universal Credit, mental health services and bus services regulation, while generally voting against prison sentencing and transgender rights, and for VAT changes.
Declares five miscellaneous financial interests.
