Conservative and Unionist Party MP in Reform UK-controlled territory.

A loyal Conservative backbencher with no rebel votes and a 100% party-line record, Alan Mak has nonetheless been active in opposition this summer — voting against Labour's planning delegation regulations, employment tribunal extensions, and the removal of the academy school presumption, while supporting Conservative attempts to block the Immigration and Asylum Bill at Second Reading. His votes on machinery safety regulations for Northern Ireland placed him alongside those arguing that Windsor Framework implementation deepens the democratic deficit in the province.

At 73% participation, Mak sits somewhat below the Commons average. His stance profile reflects orthodox Conservative priorities: he scores 96% on pro-business votes and 100% against tax increases, while registering near-zero alignment on workers' rights and progressive taxation. The most notable deviation from his own party is on assisted dying — he votes for restrictions at a rate 32 percentage points above the Conservative average, making end-of-life legislation the clearest area where he stands apart from colleagues. His 48 parliamentary contributions cluster heavily around the economy, technology, and fiscal policy, suggesting a specialist interest in innovation and business that his pre-parliamentary background reinforces.

Locally, recent news coverage is positive in tone, centred on constituency engagement — a banking hub campaign, school visits, an eleventh annual community fair, and a hockey club patronage — rather than policy controversy. Transport and roads coverage in the past 90 days scores neutrally, suggesting ongoing local infrastructure concerns without a clear resolution. Mak holds no select committee seat, limiting his formal parliamentary influence beyond the chamber. No significant critical coverage or scandal appears in the available data.
