MP for York Outer
“A party-loyal Labour MP for York Outer with unusually low attendance and one notable rebellion.”
Luke Charters is the Labour and Co-operative MP for York Outer, elected in July 2024. He has served on the Crown Estate Bill [HL] committee (Jan–Feb 2025) and on the Public Accounts Committee (from Oct 2024).
Charters shows 100% party loyalty, but his attendance is well below the Labour average (15% vs 33%). He has a mixed voting record: he generally supports workers’ rights protections and trade union powers, and backs renter protections, while generally opposing tougher prison sentencing and further regulation of bus services and transgender rights. His stance on Universal Credit, mental health services, climate change measures and VAT changes is variable, and he has at least one notable rebel vote against party lines.
Declared financial interests include two visits outside the UK and one entry for gifts, benefits and hospitality from UK sources.
