MP for Chester North and Neston
Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Housing, Communities and Local Government)
“A consistently loyal Labour (Co-op) MP who rarely rebels and now holds a ministerial post shaping housing and local government policy.”
Samantha Dixon is the Labour (Co-op) MP for Chester North and Neston, elected in December 2022. She currently serves as Parliamentary Under-Secretary for Housing, Communities and Local Government, a role she has held since September 2025, and has taken on a range of parliamentary responsibilities including committee work and whip duties. She has sat on committees such as the Representation of the People Bill committee and the Speaker's Conference on Works of Art, and previously served as Opposition Whip in the Commons.
She has 100% party loyalty with no rebel votes and a parliamentary attendance rate of 27% (below the party average of 34%), placing her on the centre-left in voting terms (44/100). On policy votes, she generally opposes immigration controls, asylum-system tightening, and the Rwanda deportation scheme, while supporting Universal Credit, workers’ rights protections and bus services regulation; her record on trade unions, protest rights, transgender rights and VAT shows a mixed pattern.
