Dunfermline and West Fife.
Scottish National Party MP Douglas Chapman holds the seat.
1 Jun 2026
A decade in Westminster has left almost no recent trace for this SNP member. Douglas Chapman, who has represented Dunfermline and West Fife since 2015, shows zero recorded participation in divisions, no speech data, and no notable news coverage in the available period -- making it difficult to characterise any current parliamentary activity at all.
Without voting or speech records to draw on, there is no pattern to assess. No rebel votes, no committee roles, and no identifiable policy focus emerge from the data. Whether this reflects a gap in data coverage or a genuine period of low activity at Westminster cannot be determined from the available information alone.
It is worth noting that SNP MPs operate under a distinct strategic context -- the party's primary legislative focus is Holyrood, and Westminster attendance can vary considerably depending on political circumstance. Chapman's constituency is in Scotland, despite the dataset labelling it under England. Constituents seeking a fuller picture of his work would be better served by checking his Holyrood-facing activity, local casework record, or the Scottish Parliament's own resources, as the parliamentary data available here is either absent or insufficient to support meaningful conclusions.
