MP for Llanelli
Dame Nia Griffith is Labour (Co-op) MP for Llanelli, first elected in 2005. She currently serves on the Women and Equalities Committee (since 3 November 2025) and has held a range of ministerial and shadow roles, including positions in the Wales Office and the Department for Education's Equalities portfolio, and as a former Shadow Secretary of State for Wales and for Defence.
She has a 100% party loyalty rate and 77% voting attendance, indicating strong engagement with the Labour group. Her voting pattern places her centre-left, with general support for Universal Credit and NHS funding, and opposition to tighter immigration controls and the Rwanda deportation scheme. On some issues her votes have been mixed, and she notably rebelled against her party on amendments to the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill in June 2025.
She has three declared financial interests: family members involved in third‑party lobbying, land and property holdings, and visits outside the UK.
