MP for Leeds North West
Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero)
“A centrist Labour MP with perfect party loyalty who now holds a ministerial role in energy policy.”
Katie White is the Labour and Co-operative MP for Leeds North West, elected in July 2024. She serves as Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero in the government from September 2025. She is a centrist MP with perfect party loyalty in votes.
Her voting record shows 100% party loyalty and no rebel votes, but very low parliamentary attendance at 14% (well below the party average of 33%). On policy, she has mixed positions: generally supports workers’ rights protections and trade union powers, and supports renter protections, as well as VAT changes; but generally votes against climate change measures, transgender rights, prison sentencing strengthening, and bus services regulation. Votes on Universal Credit and mental health services are variable.
Declared financial interests include gifts, benefits and hospitality from UK sources (three entries), a family member engaged in third-party lobbying, miscellaneous interests, and shareholdings.
