MP for Fylde
Opposition Assistant Whip (Commons)
“A party-loyal Conservative backbencher who rarely rebels but has unusually low parliamentary attendance.”
Andrew Snowden is a Conservative MP for Fylde, first elected in 2024. He serves as Opposition Assistant Whip in the Commons (from 18 November 2024) and has previously sat on committees considering the Crown Estate Bill and the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Bill.
He shows near-total party loyalty (100%) but unusually low attendance (10%). He has one recorded rebel vote: he voted AYE on the House of Lords (Hereditary Peers) Bill Committee: New Clause 1 on 12 November 2024, contrary to party line. On policy, he has frequently voted against welfare expansion and protections (e.g., Universal Credit, workers’ rights protections, union powers, renter protections, data protection, and some climate measures), while voting in favour of transgender rights; votes on prison sentencing and bus services regulation are mixed.
Declared financial interests include six donations or loans to support his activities as an MP, and one item of gifts, benefits or hospitality from UK sources.
