Airdrie and Shotts.
Labour Party MP Kenneth Stevenson holds the seat on 51.5% of the vote.
1 Jun 2026
Stevenson's most notable parliamentary moment came in June 2025, when he broke with Labour five times during the Report Stage of the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill. All five rebel votes concerned the bill's eligibility criteria -- specifically, whether patients who voluntarily stop eating and drinking could qualify as terminally ill and access an assisted death. Stevenson consistently supported tighter restrictions on that loophole, voting against his party's majority on each occasion. His 67% alignment with end-of-life autonomy positions sits 22 percentage points above the Labour average, suggesting a considered rather than casual engagement with the issue.
Beyond that, Stevenson is a 97.5% party-line voter with a 71% participation rate -- below the Commons average -- who reflects orthodox Labour priorities. His voting profile shows strong alignment with workers' rights (90%) and progressive taxation (97%), near-zero alignment with pro-business positions (7%), and consistent support for government positions against Lords amendments. He speaks most on economy and jobs, local government, and immigration, and recent news coverage has been positive, largely tied to welcoming an AI Growth Zone investment for North Lanarkshire.
His seat on the Procedure Committee signals an interest in how Parliament itself functions, though no notable committee interventions are on record here. His deviations from Labour colleagues are worth noting: he scores 29 percentage points below the party average on armed forces welfare votes and 26 points below on pension protection -- areas where his record may attract scrutiny. Speech data runs to January 2026 and voting data to April 2026; there is no information on casework or local campaigning beyond press coverage.
