MP for Kenilworth and Southam
“A long-serving Conservative MP with a strong justice and national security background who mostly votes with the party but has notable rebellions on Rwanda policy and economic crime legislation.”
Sir Jeremy Wright is a Conservative MP for Kenilworth and Southam, first elected in 2005. He currently serves on several parliamentary committees, including the Intelligence and Security Committee, the Panel of Chairs, and the Speaker’s Conference, and sits on the Speaker’s Committee on the Electoral Commission. His career has included senior government roles as Attorney General (2014–2018) and as Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (2018–2019), with earlier posts in the Ministry of Justice and as a government whip.
His party loyalty is very high (99%) and his voting attendance is above average (68%). He has 12 rebel votes, indicating selective independence, and sits around the centre of the political spectrum (49/100). On policy votes, he has a mixed record: he has supported asylum policy and the Rwanda deportation scheme, but has frequently opposed bus services regulation; votes on immigration controls, VAT, transgender rights, NHS funding and trade unions are varied across different issues.
Declared nine financial interests, including entries related to employment and earnings (ad hoc payments and other earnings), miscellaneous interests, and visits outside the UK.
