MP for Harpenden and Berkhamsted
Liberal Democrat Spokesperson (Science, Innovation & Technology)
“A highly loyal Lib Dem MP who fronts science policy and, despite low voting attendance, rarely rebels.”
Victoria Collins is the Liberal Democrat MP for Harpenden and Berkhamsted, elected on 4 July 2024. She serves as the Liberal Democrat Spokesperson for Science, Innovation & Technology and has previously sat on the committee considering the Data (Use and Access) Bill in early 2025.
She shows near-total party loyalty (99%) but has low voting attendance (14%, below the 21% party average) with only two rebel votes. On policy areas, she generally votes against workers’ rights protections and against expanding trade union powers, while voting for transgender rights, prison sentencing, and a publicly owned railway. Her votes on Universal Credit, bus services regulation, mental health services, protest rights and VAT changes are mixed or vary by issue.
She has nine declared financial interests, including donations and other support for her MP activities, gifts and hospitality from UK sources, land and property, shareholdings, miscellaneous interests, and overseas visits.
