MP for Castle Point
Opposition Chief Whip (Commons)
“A party loyalist with high attendance who currently leads the Conservative whip team in the Commons.”
Rebecca Harris is the Conservative MP for Castle Point, first elected in 2010. She currently serves as Opposition Chief Whip in the Commons (since November 2024), having previously been a government whip (Comptroller of HM Household) from 2022 to 2024. Her parliamentary career has included multiple committee assignments and leadership roles within the whips’ team.
Her voting record shows very strong party loyalty (100%) and good attendance (86%), with just one rebel vote. On policy areas, she generally aligns with centre-right positions, backing immigration controls and the asylum system, and supporting the Rwanda deportation scheme, while voting against bus services regulation and VAT changes. Some issues—such as transgender rights, NHS funding and trade union powers—show a mixed voting pattern.
Declared financial interests include miscellaneous entries; donations and other support for MP activities (including loans); and land or property holdings (within or outside the UK).
