MP for Kingston upon Hull West and Haltemprice
Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs)
“A Labour MP who largely votes with the party but has occasionally rebelled, notably backing end-of-life amendments to a Terminally Ill Adults Bill and opposing a 2018 runway capacity motion.”
Emma Hardy is the Labour MP for Kingston upon Hull West and Haltemprice, first elected in 2017. Since July 2024 she has served as Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra). In Parliament she has held a range of roles including shadow minister for Education and for Flooding, Oceans and Coastal Communities, and she has sat on the Treasury Committee and on several Bills committees during her time as an MP.
Emma Hardy shows strong loyalty to Labour, with 100% party loyalty and attendance above the party average. Her voting record across key issues is mixed: she generally votes against tighter immigration controls and against the asylum system, tends to support NHS funding and bus services regulation, and often votes against prison sentencing; her positions on Universal Credit, VAT and transgender rights are more nuanced. She has three recorded rebel votes.
