Represented by Con since 2024. Covers Daventry, Moulton (West Northamptonshire) and Earls Barton. Population 100,034.

A Conservative frontbencher in opposition, Stuart Andrew has been most visible recently in his dual roles as Shadow Health Secretary and Shadow Culture Secretary. On health, he has used parliamentary appearances to challenge the government's handling of junior doctor negotiations, warning of consequences from earlier pay concessions and pushing proposals including banning doctors' strikes and restoring minimum service levels. On culture, he has publicly criticised Labour's VAT changes affecting places of worship, citing heritage concerns. In the Commons, he voted with fellow Conservatives to support Lords amendments to the Victims and Courts Bill that the Labour government rejected, and backed opposition day motions on defence spending and North Sea oil and gas policy.

Andrew participates in 76% of votes -- slightly below the Commons average -- and has voted with the Conservative party in 100% of recorded divisions, with no rebel votes. His stance profile reflects a firmly right-of-centre position: strongly anti-tax-increase (96%), pro-business (80%), and supportive of parliamentary and civil liberties scrutiny of the government. He deviates from his party's average on assisted dying, voting to restrict access at a rate 15 percentage points above his Conservative colleagues. His 79 parliamentary contributions span health, economy, culture, social care, and local government -- consistent with his frontbench briefs.
