MP for Cardiff West
“A party-loyal, centre-left backbencher who champions workers' rights and public services, but with notably low parliamentary attendance.”
Alex Barros-Curtis is a Labour (Co-op) MP for Cardiff West, elected in July 2024. He currently sits on the Administration Committee and the Modernisation Committee, and has previously served on committees related to justice and policing (Crime and Policing Bill, Tobacco and Vapes Bill, and the Justice Committee).
He shows 100% party loyalty with no rebel votes, but his attendance is 18% (below the party average of 34%). His record includes a mixed stance on Universal Credit and Mental Health services, but he generally votes for workers' rights protections, trade union powers, bus services regulation and protest rights, while tending to vote against transgender rights and against a publicly owned railway.
Declares five financial interests, including four miscellaneous entries and one land or property item.
