MP for Wyre Forest
Shadow Parliamentary Under Secretary (Work and Pensions)
“A party-loyal MP with strong attendance who has occasionally rebelled on end-of-life care amendments.”
Mark Garnier is a Conservative MP for Wyre Forest, first elected in 2010. He currently serves as Shadow Parliamentary Under Secretary for Work and Pensions (from July 2025) and as Shadow Economic Secretary to the Treasury (since 2024), while serving on the Space Industry (Indemnities) Bill committee. His career includes extensive parliamentary committee work and previous roles related to energy security and net zero policy.
Garnier votes with his party 99% of the time and attends Parliament 81% of the time. He generally backs immigration controls and the asylum system, and supported the Rwanda deportation scheme, but shows a mixed record on welfare, NHS funding, VAT changes and other issues, with regular cross-party voting patterns on several topics.
He has 29 declared financial interests covering miscellaneous items, employment and earnings (including ongoing paid work and ad hoc payments), land and property, visits outside the UK, gifts/benefits from UK sources, shareholdings, and family members employed.
