MP for Broxbourne
“A party-loyal Conservative backbencher with a single recorded rebellion and two standing committee roles.”
Lewis Cocking is the Conservative MP for Broxbourne, first elected in 2024. He currently serves on the Representation of the People Bill committee (since 11 March 2026) and on the Housing, Communities and Local Government Committee (since 21 October 2024), reflecting an active backbench role focused on electoral and housing policy.
His voting shows near-total party loyalty (100%, compared with a party average of 99%). His attendance is unusually low at 16% (party average 56%), meaning many votes are missed. He has one rebel vote against the party on the House of Lords hereditary peers clause; on policy issues, he generally votes against workers’ rights protections, trade union powers, mental health services, VAT changes and renter protections, while voting in favour of transgender rights and showing a mixed pattern on Universal Credit and protest rights.
Declared financial interests include gifts, benefits and hospitality from UK sources (three entries) and earnings from employment, including ongoing paid employment (two entries).
