MP for Aylesbury
“A Labour Co-op MP for Aylesbury with a strong focus on workers’ rights and renters’ protections, noted for party loyalty but unusually low parliamentary attendance.”
Laura Kyrke-Smith is the Labour (Co-op) MP for Aylesbury, elected on 4 July 2024. She currently sits on the Representation of the People Bill committee (since 11 March 2026) and the Dogs (Protection of Livestock) (Amendment) Bill committee (since 21 May 2025). She previously served on the International Development Committee from 21 October 2024 to 24 March 2025.
She has 100% party loyalty, slightly above the Labour average, but an attendance rate of 18% (well below the party average of 34%). Her voting shows a clear emphasis on workers’ rights protections and trade union powers, and she generally supports renter protections, bus services regulation, protest rights, and mental health services. Her record includes mixed votes on Universal Credit and VAT changes, and a tendency to vote against prison sentencing and transgender rights.
She has five declared financial interests, including donations and other support for activities as an MP, visits outside the UK, and miscellaneous items.
