Burton.
Conservative and Unionist Party MP Kate Kniveton holds the seat.
1 Jun 2026
There is very little recent parliamentary activity to report for Burton's MP. Kate Kniveton has recorded no votes in the current data period, meaning there is no participation rate to assess, no party-line record to evaluate, and no rebel votes of any kind. No speeches are on record, and she holds no committee positions. For constituents seeking evidence of recent parliamentary engagement, the available data offers none.
Prior to this data gap, Kniveton had represented Burton since December 2019 as a Conservative MP. Without current voting or speech records, it is not possible to characterise her policy priorities, her loyalty to the Conservative whip, or any areas of specialist interest. The absence of committee roles removes another common avenue through which backbench MPs typically make their mark.
Local news coverage over the past 90 days spans 24 articles touching on issues including crime, energy, and the local economy -- but Kniveton does not appear in any of them in a meaningful way. A Unilever restructuring affecting jobs connected to Burton-on-Trent's manufacturing heritage generated coverage, but no recorded response from her was found. It is worth noting that data gaps -- particularly on votes and speeches -- may reflect incomplete sourcing rather than confirmed inactivity, and constituents may wish to check Hansard and TheyWorkForYou directly for a fuller picture.
