Represented by Con since 2024.

A steady, constituency-focused Conservative, Mundell has been most active recently in opposing the Labour government's handling of Lords amendments -- voting in April 2026 to retain Lords changes to both the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill and the Pension Schemes Bill, including amendments designed to limit ministerial powers over private pension fund investments. These votes are orthodox Conservative opposition positions, not rebellions, and Mundell has no rebel votes on record. His 100% party alignment reflects a disciplined parliamentary approach.

With a voting participation rate of 52% -- below the Commons average -- Mundell is not among the most frequently voting MPs, though his 292 contributions across 183 debates suggests active engagement when present. He speaks most on economy and jobs, defence, and local government. His stance profile is strongly anti-tax-increase and pro-business, and he deviates notably from his party average on criminal justice reform, voting more progressively than most Conservative colleagues on that issue. He also votes less often to override the Lords than the typical Conservative MP.
