MP for Chippenham
“A party loyalist who rarely rebels but has notably low parliamentary attendance.”
Sarah Gibson is the Liberal Democrat MP for Chippenham, elected in 2024. She serves on the Environmental Audit Committee and has previously sat on committees handling Employment Rights and Product Regulation and Metrology, and she has held the Liberal Democrat spokesperson role for Business.
She shows 100% party loyalty with no rebel votes, but her attendance is well below the party average. On policy, she has generally backed Universal Credit and climate change measures while voting against workers’ rights protections and against strengthening trade union powers. She has supported measures on mental health services, prison sentencing, bus services regulation, and transgender rights, with a mixed record on renter protections.
Her declared financial interests total 24 entries across categories, notably ad hoc payments from employment (18 entries) and ongoing paid employment (2 entries), plus a shareholding. There are also entries listed in miscellaneous and other earnings categories.
