MP for Ashfield
“A largely party-loyal backbencher with a few notable rebellions on health regulations and a key social-law vote.”
Lee Anderson is the MP for Ashfield, first elected in 2019. He currently sits on the Speaker's Conference (2024) committee and has held numerous committee roles, including on the Home Affairs Committee (2022-2024) and the Committee on the Future Relationship with the European Union (2020-2021). He has also served as Deputy Chair of the Conservative Party (2023-2024).
He shows high party loyalty (100%), with attendance at 50% of votes (above the party average of 40%). He has three rebel votes against his party. His record places him on the centre-right, generally favouring immigration controls and tougher prison sentencing, with a mixed pattern on welfare, taxation and civil liberties.
Declared financial interests include ongoing paid employment and ad hoc payments, donations and other support for MP activities, gifts and hospitality from UK sources, and visits outside the UK.
