“A party-loyal Labour Co-op backbencher for Bournemouth East who never rebels and serves on the Public Accounts Commission.”
Tom Hayes is the Labour Co-op MP for Bournemouth East, elected in July 2024. He currently serves on the Public Accounts Commission (from December 2024) and has sat on committees examining the Water (Special Measures) Bill [HL], the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill, and the Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill.
