MP for Grantham and Bourne
Shadow Minister (Business and Trade)
“A loyal Conservative MP with a finance-and-business focus who rarely rebels.”
Gareth Davies is the Conservative MP for Grantham and Bourne, first elected in December 2019. He has held finance-focused government and opposition roles, most recently serving as Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury and, from July 2025, as Shadow Minister for Business and Trade. His career has centred on economic and business policy, with involvement in various finance-related committees.
He votes with his party consistently, recording 100% party loyalty and an attendance rate close to the parliamentary average. His voting record shows a centre-right pattern on economic and immigration issues, including opposition to Universal Credit, support for immigration controls and the asylum system, and backing of the Rwanda deportation scheme and tougher prison sentencing, with a mixed stance on VAT, transgender rights, bus services regulation, and NHS funding.
Declared financial interests include six items: two miscellaneous entries, two visits outside the UK, one entry for gifts, benefits and hospitality from UK sources, and one shareholding.
