MP for Isle of Wight West
“A generally party-loyal backbencher who has shown occasional independence on welfare reform and end-of-life legislation.”
Richard Quigley is a Labour (Co-op) MP for Isle of Wight West, elected in 2024. He serves on the Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee (since 28 October 2024) and on the Dogs (Protection of Livestock) (Amendment) Bill committee (since 21 May 2025).
Quigley is highly loyal to his party in votes (99%), but attends far less often than peers (15% attendance vs 34% average). He has five rebel votes and sits on the centre-right of the spectrum (60/100). On policy topics, he shows a mixed approach to welfare and health issues, with a tendency to vote against workers’ rights protections and against trade union powers, while consistently supporting renter protections.
Declared financial interests total six: three miscellaneous entries, two related to land and property (within or outside the UK), and one entry for visits outside the UK.
