MP for Birmingham Northfield
“A party-loyal Labour MP with a transport focus who has occasionally rebelled on end-of-life amendments in 2025.”
Laurence Turner is a Labour (Co-op) MP for Birmingham Northfield, elected in 2024. He currently serves on the Transport Committee (since October 2024) and has previously sat on several parliamentary committees, including the Railways Bill, Product Regulation and Metrology Bill [HL], the Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education (Transfer of Functions etc) Bill [HL], and the Employment Rights Bill, reflecting involvement in transport, regulation and employment matters.
