Conlon's most notable recent activity has been on assisted dying. On 20 June 2025, he broke with his party on five separate votes during the Report Stage of the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill -- backing amendments to close a loophole that could allow voluntary starvation to qualify someone as terminally ill, and supporting a procedural amendment to ensure continuity when an assessing doctor becomes unavailable. His deviations place him notably above the Labour average on both end-of-life autonomy and assisted dying safeguards, suggesting a considered position on the bill rather than simple opposition to it.

Beyond that cluster of rebel votes, Conlon is a broadly loyal backbencher -- a 97% party-line voter -- with an 83% participation rate that sits a little below the Commons average. His speeches cluster around the economy, social care, and health, with local government and education also featuring regularly. He scores well above his party average on parliamentary scrutiny votes, and noticeably below it on civil liberties and NHS funding measures. On asylum policy he has backed the government's moves to tighten support rules for failed asylum seekers.

Local coverage paints a busy constituency operator: over 1,500 attendees at coffee mornings, £1.6m secured for St Christopher's Hospice, nursery expansion funding, and direct lobbying for a disabled constituent's parasport sponsorship -- work informed in part by his own experience as a disabled MP. He sits on no select committees, which limits his formal parliamentary influence at this stage. Recent local news has been dominated by crime stories, where sentiment is neutral, with more positive coverage on housing and transport. He was elected in July 2024, so his full parliamentary record spans less than two years.
