Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs)
“A largely party-loyal Labour MP and Defra minister who has shown selective independence on end-of-life amendments.”
Mary Creagh is a Labour (Co-op) MP for Coventry East who, from July 2024, serves as Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra). She has a background in environmental policy and has held multiple shadow ministerial roles and committee positions related to the environment and transport before entering government.
