MP for Winchester
Liberal Democrat Spokesperson (Mental Health)
“A party-loyal Lib Dem MP with very low voting attendance who focuses on mental health policy.”
Dr Danny Chambers is the Liberal Democrat MP for Winchester, elected on 4 July 2024. He serves as the Liberal Democrat Spokesperson for Mental Health and has participated in committees on education reform, including the 16 to 19 Academies Bill; he has previously contributed to debates on the Mental Health Bill, the Animal Welfare (Import of Dogs, Cats and Ferrets) Bill, and the Tobacco and Vapes Bill.
He shows strong party loyalty (100%) with no rebel votes, but his voting attendance is low at 13% (below the party average of 19%). He sits on the centre-right of the political spectrum (69/100). On key issues, he generally backs mental health services, transgender rights, climate change measures, bus services regulation and prison sentencing, while commonly opposing workers' rights protections, trade union powers, and VAT changes; his votes on Universal Credit and renter protections are more mixed.
Has declared several financial interests, including miscellaneous items, gifts, benefits and hospitality from UK sources, donations and other support for MP activities, and a shareholding.
