Geoffrey Clifton-Brown.

One of the Conservatives' most senior parliamentary figures, Clifton-Brown has broken with his party on assisted dying, voting against a clause that would have tightened safeguards by excluding applicants driven by fear of being a burden or by financial pressures — the opposite direction from most Conservative rebels on the issue. He also backed the Tobacco and Vapes Bill twice, at Second and Third Reading, against the Conservative majority. Beyond the chamber, he visited Ukraine in March on a parliamentary delegation and has been visible locally: opposing the government's housing targets for the Cotswolds, hosting Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch at a local event, and publicly challenging what he calls unfair rural tax burdens.

A 98.9% party-line voter overall, so those deviations stand out against a broadly orthodox record. His 65% voting participation sits below the Commons average, though his role as Chair of the Public Accounts Committee — one of Westminster's most demanding select committee posts — accounts for a significant share of his parliamentary time. He votes consistently against tax rises and workers'-rights measures, and strongly with the party on business-friendly positions. He speaks frequently on economic and fiscal matters, defence, and local government, with 128 contributions across 61 debates in the current period.

Chairing the Public Accounts Committee gives him oversight of government spending across Whitehall, which shapes the fiscal and accountability themes running through his speeches. He also sits on the Liaison Committee, which questions the Prime Minister directly. His constituency news coverage over the past 90 days spans MP performance, culture and sport, and housing — mostly neutral to positive in tone. Full voting and speech data are available; some recent committee-stage votes lack published debate transcripts, limiting detail on his precise reasoning.
