East Kilbride, Strathaven and Lesmahagow.
Conservative and Unionist Party MP Lisa Cameron holds the seat.
1 Jun 2026
A decade in parliament, but Lisa Cameron's recent record is effectively a blank slate -- there are no votes, speeches, committee appearances, or notable news stories on file for the current period. This is partly explained by her unusual political journey: she was elected in 2015 as an SNP MP for East Kilbride, Strathaven and Lesmahagow, then defected to the Conservatives in late 2023, before losing her seat at the 2024 general election. The data here reflects a period in which she was no longer a sitting MP.
With zero recorded divisions and no speech activity to analyse, it is impossible to assess parliamentary engagement, party loyalty, or policy focus for this period. Her pre-defection record included work on mental health policy -- she served as chair of the Cross-Party Group on Psychology -- but whether those interests carried into her brief time as a Conservative MP cannot be determined from the available data.
The core context is structural: Cameron is a former MP, not a current one, which explains every gap in the dataset. Constituents searching for an active representative should note that East Kilbride, Strathaven and Lesmahagow returned a different MP at the 2024 election. The constituency label in this briefing also contains an error -- it is a Scottish seat, not an English one. No meaningful conclusions about recent parliamentary behaviour can be drawn here; the absence of data reflects absence from the Commons, not simply a low profile.
