MP for Bolton South and Walkden
“A loyal Labour backbencher with high attendance who has occasionally broken ranks on end-of-life legislation and other major policy votes.”
Yasmin Qureshi is Labour (Co-op) MP for Bolton South and Walkden, first elected in 2010. She serves on the Courts and Tribunals Bill committee (since 18 March 2026) and has previously sat on the Justice and Foreign Affairs committees, including several shadow minister roles in Equalities, International Development and Justice.
She shows 100% party loyalty with attendance at 63% of votes, well above the party average of 33%. Her record generally aligns with Labour on welfare and health, supporting Universal Credit and NHS funding, while she generally opposes tighter immigration controls, the asylum system, and the Rwanda deportation scheme. Her voting on tax and union issues has been mixed.
She has six declared financial interests: two miscellaneous entries, two visits outside the UK, a family member employed, and gifts, benefits and hospitality from UK sources.
