§ 01Where the parties sit on manufacturing.6 divisions · this parliament

Each row is one party. The bar shows how its MPs voted relative to a neutral midpoint — to the right = on-side with the majority position, to the left = opposed. The percentage figure is the share of that party’s MPs who took the same side: higher = more whip-disciplined, closer to 50% = a freer vote.

9 Jun 2026Steel Industry (Nationalisation) Bill Committee: Amendment 20
Aye: Support requiring NAO sign-off before public money is given to the nationalised steel industry, to protect taxpayers from open-ended financial commitments. · No: Oppose adding this constraint, backing the government's freedom to provide financial assistance to the steel industry without a mandatory NAO value-for-money check.
91293No
9 Jun 2026Steel Industry (Nationalisation) Bill Committee: New Clause 12
Aye: Support capping public financial assistance to British Steel at £2.5 billion, arguing the government needs spending limits and a clear exit strategy rather than unlimited, open-ended state funding. · No: Reject the cap, backing the government's approach of retaining flexibility to provide whatever financial support British Steel requires without a fixed ceiling.
96297No
9 Jun 2026Steel Industry (Nationalisation) Bill Committee: New Clause 4
Aye: Support requiring parliamentary scrutiny of government financial assistance to the steel industry before it is provided, ensuring MPs can examine the costs, conditions, and purposes of any public money committed · No: Oppose imposing prior parliamentary approval requirements on financial assistance to steel, preferring to preserve ministerial flexibility to act quickly in support of a strategically important industry
157288No
8 Jun 2026Steel Industry (Nationalisation) Bill Committee: New Clause 8
Aye: Support requiring the government to be transparent about the financial risks and hidden liabilities taxpayers could inherit before any steel nationalisation goes ahead. · No: Oppose the additional parliamentary disclosure requirement, backing the government's position that it has sufficient accountability mechanisms and the Bill should proceed without this constraint.
148253No
8 Jun 2026Steel Industry (Nationalisation) Bill Committee: New Clause 2
Aye: Support imposing additional procedural checks on the Secretary of State before exercising nationalisation powers, prioritising parliamentary accountability and limiting executive discretion over the pace of intervention. · No: Oppose adding procedural hurdles that would slow government action, backing the Bill as drafted to allow ministers to intervene quickly when the national interest demands it.

§ 03MPs most aligned, by party.Top-3 most-on-whip per major party

By party, the MPs whose voting record on manufacturing is most closely tracking the party majority. A fuller “most active by speech volume + written questions” ranking is pending — needs per-issue speech aggregation.

§ 04Where manufacturing money lands.Council-service mapping pending
Pending — issue-to-service mapping

Mapping each Westminster issue to the equivalent council service bucket (so “Manufacturing” → the matching service line on council finance, with the ranked-spend table this section wants) is its own taxonomy job. Council service spend lives on the council pages today; cross-cut by issue here in a follow-on pass.
