MP for Cardiff West
“A party-loyal Labour MP for Cardiff West who never rebels in votes but has very low parliamentary attendance.”
Alex Barros-Curtis is the Labour (Co-op) MP for Cardiff West, elected in 2024. He serves on the Administration Committee and the Modernisation Committee, and has previously sat on the Justice Committee as well as committees linked to the Crime and Policing Bill and the Tobacco and Vapes Bill.
His voting record shows 100% party loyalty with zero rebel votes, but his attendance is only 14% (well below the party average of 33%). He generally votes in favour of workers’ rights, trade union powers, and renter protections, and supports prison sentencing, while tending to vote against mental health service expansion and transgender rights; his stance on climate change measures and on Universal Credit and VAT is mixed.
Declares five financial interests, including four miscellaneous entries and one land/property interest (within or outside the UK).
