MP for Winchester
Liberal Democrat Spokesperson (Mental Health)
“A party-loyal Liberal Democrat MP for Winchester who rarely rebels but has notably low parliamentary attendance and a focus 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 on Mental Health and sits on the 16–19 Academies Bill committee. He has previously contributed to parliamentary work on the Mental Health Bill [HL], the Animal Welfare (Import of Dogs, Cats and Ferrets) Bill, and the Tobacco and Vapes Bill.
He votes with his party (100% loyalty) and has an attendance of 12% (well below the party average of 19%), with zero rebel votes. His voting record shows a mix on welfare and housing topics, generally opposing extending workers’ rights protections and trade union powers, while backing measures on mental health services, transgender rights, climate policy, prison sentencing and bus regulation.
Dr Chambers has seven declared financial interests, including three miscellaneous entries; two gifts, benefits and hospitality from UK sources; one donation or other support related to his MP activities; and one shareholding.
