MP for Daventry
Shadow Secretary of State for Health and Social Care
“A party-loyal MP with ministerial experience who now leads the opposition on health and social care.”
Stuart Andrew is the Conservative MP for Daventry, first elected in 2010. He has held multiple ministerial roles across government departments, including Housing and Equalities, International Trade, and Culture, Media and Sport, and he is currently Shadow Secretary of State for Health and Social Care. He has also served as Opposition Chief Whip and as Shadow Secretary for Culture, Media and Sport.
He has 100% party loyalty with 80% voting attendance, and four rebel votes, indicating strong alignment with his party while occasionally diverging.
