Dinenage's most significant recent votes put her on the opposing side of her party on conscience issues. She voted against the assisted dying bill at Report Stage -- rejecting three separate amendments in June 2025 -- and against a clause that would have required in-person consultations before abortion medication, both free votes where Conservatives split. She also voted with the government on crime and policing measures her party opposed, backing clauses covering child sexual abuse limitation periods and protections for emergency workers. On standard opposition business she holds the party line: supporting Lords amendments to the English Devolution Bill, backing referral of the Prime Minister over the Mandelson appointment, and opposing government pension fund investment powers.

A 97% party-line voter overall, Dinenage participates in 59% of votes -- below the Commons average, though her chairing of the Culture, Media and Sport Committee accounts for much of her parliamentary time. Her stance profile is conventionally Conservative: strongly against tax increases, opposed to housing development, and sceptical of workers' rights legislation. Two deviations stand out: she votes more consistently than most Conservative MPs on consumer protection (+46 points above the party average) and on public health (+31 points). Her speeches span economy, culture, health, social care, and defence, with 195 contributions across 121 debates.

Her committee role shapes much of her public profile. She has pushed for Online Safety Act enforcement on child safety, lobbied on pub sector support, and -- most recently -- led a Commons debate calling for funeral sector regulation following a case in her constituency. That campaign drew BBC coverage in March 2026 and illustrates her pattern of translating local casework into legislative demands.
