MP for Wells and Mendip Hills
“A centrist Liberal Democrat backbencher with zero rebel votes and unusually low voting attendance.”
Tessa Munt is the Liberal Democrat MP for Wells and Mendip Hills, elected in July 2024. She currently serves on the Administration Committee and the Justice Committee, and has previously sat on the Administration and Education Committees. She has also participated in a Public Office (Accountability) Bill committee in 2025.
Her voting record shows 100% party loyalty with no rebellions, but a notably low attendance rate of 11% (much lower than the party average of 21%). On key topics, she has a mixed pattern on welfare-related votes, generally opposed to VAT changes, protest rights, mental health service changes, and renter protections, while generally supporting transgender rights and prison sentencing.
She declares six financial interests, including miscellaneous items, one ongoing paid employment, and land or property holdings (within or outside the UK).
