MP for Chippenham
“A party loyalist who rarely rebels but has unusually low voting attendance.”
Sarah Gibson is the Liberal Democrat MP for Chippenham, elected in 2024. She sits on the Environmental Audit Committee and has previously served on committees including Employment Rights and Product Regulation and Metrology, as well as acting as the Liberal Democrat Spokesperson for Business.
She shows 100% party loyalty but very low attendance (12%). She generally supports Universal Credit and transgender rights, while voting against stronger workers’ protections and trade union powers. Her voting is mixed on mental health services and bus regulation, and she regularly votes for a publicly owned railway and for tougher prison sentencing.
She declares 25 financial interests, including ongoing paid employment and ad hoc payments, a shareholding, and gifts or hospitality from UK sources.
