Apr 2026

Represented by LD since 2024. Covers Stratford-upon-Avon, Bidford-on-Avon and Studley. Population 92,303, notably older (median age 49 vs 41 nationally). 6,350 businesses.

A consistently active presence in local and parliamentary debates, Manuela Perteghella has recently been in the thick of two legislative battles: opposing the government's efforts to strip out House of Lords amendments to the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill and the Pension Schemes Bill. Alongside fellow Liberal Democrats, she backed Lords changes that would have protected smaller pension schemes from forced mergers and resisted ministers gaining powers to direct how private pension funds invest. She also drew national attention earlier this year by leading a parliamentary push for a government apology on behalf of constituents excluded from Covid financial support schemes -- a campaign credited by her to grassroots campaign groups.

Perteghella participates in 67% of Commons votes, below the typical MP average, though she has not broken from her party on a single occasion -- a 100% alignment record. Her stance profile places her firmly against the employer National Insurance increase, strongly supportive of Lords and parliamentary scrutiny, and broadly pro-business and pro-climate action. She votes with notably less frequency in line with her party on workers' rights and fiscal-responsibility measures. Her 263 contributions across 132 debates span economy and jobs, local government, social care, cost of living, and education -- a broad but locally grounded range.
