MP for Gordon and Buchan
Opposition Assistant Whip (Commons)
“Party-loyal Conservative MP who rarely rebels but has very low attendance in Parliament.”
Harriet Cross is a Conservative MP for Gordon and Buchan, elected on 4 July 2024. She currently serves as an Opposition Assistant Whip in the Commons and sits on the Scottish Affairs Committee, having taken on several parliamentary committee roles since entering Parliament.
Her party loyalty is 100% (above the 99% party average), but her attendance is only 13% (well below the 56% party average). She has one recorded rebel vote. Her voting record shows a mixed pattern across many issues, with a centrist stance (54/100). For example, she has a mixed record on Universal Credit (11 aye, 12 no of 40 votes) and generally votes against mental health funding and VAT rises, while supporting bus services regulation and prison sentencing; she also generally supports transgender rights but opposes renter protections.
