MP for Thirsk and Malton
Shadow Minister without Portfolio
“A party-loyal backbencher with a high attendance record and a centre-right stance who has occasionally rebelled on end-of-life legislation.”
Kevin Hollinrake is the Conservative MP for Thirsk and Malton, first elected in 2015. He has held ministerial roles in the Department for Business and Trade and has served in various shadow positions; in 2025 he assumed the roles of Conservative Party Chair and Shadow Minister without Portfolio.
His voting shows very high loyalty to his party (99%) with solid attendance (82%). He sits on the centre-right side of the spectrum (58/100). While generally aligned with party lines, his record includes a number of mixed votes on issues such as universal credit, VAT, transgender rights, trade union powers and prison sentencing, and notable rebellions on the Terminally Ill Adults End of Life Bill amendments in 2025.
He has 13 declared financial interests, including gifts, benefits and hospitality from UK sources; land and property holdings; shareholdings; and earnings from employment and ad hoc payments.
