MP for Woking
Liberal Democrat Spokesperson (Immigration and Asylum)
“A party-loyal MP with a centre-right tilt who rarely rebels and now fronts Lib Dem policy on immigration.”
Will Forster is the Liberal Democrat MP for Woking, first elected in 2024. He currently serves as the Liberal Democrat Spokesperson on Immigration and Asylum and sits on the Housing, Communities and Local Government Committee, having previously contributed to the Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill committee in early 2025.
Mr Forster shows very high party loyalty (99%) but a low voting attendance (12%). His record is mixed: he generally votes against trade union powers and workers’ rights protections and against VAT changes, while consistently backing prison sentencing, mental health services, transgender rights and climate measures. Notably, he has rebelled twice against his party, voting aye on the End of Life Bill’s New Clause in June 2025 and voting NO on the Tobacco and Vapes Bill second reading in November 2024.
He has seven declared financial interests, including two entries for employment and earnings, two for ongoing paid employment, two for gifts, benefits and hospitality from UK sources, and one entry for visits outside the UK.
