MP for Beverley and Holderness
“A long-serving Conservative MP and former minister with a centrist tilt and strong party loyalty.”
Graham Stuart is a Conservative MP for Beverley and Holderness, first elected in 2005. He has held multiple ministerial roles in energy, climate and international trade, and since January 2025 serves on the Panel of Chairs in the Commons.
He votes with his party consistently (100% loyalty) and has good attendance (73%). He generally backs immigration controls and the asylum system, and has supported the Rwanda deportation scheme. His record on domestic policy is more mixed, including opposition to certain bus regulations and a mix of positions on NHS funding, VAT, transgender rights and trade unions; there is one notable rebel vote in 2023.
Declared financial interests total 11 entries. These include gifts, benefits and hospitality from UK sources, visits outside the UK, earnings from employment (including ad hoc payments), a family member employed, and a shareholding.
