Helena Dollimore.

Dollimore has been one of the more active supporters of the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, backing amendments in June 2025 to strengthen its safeguards and clarify its advertising ban — putting her on the pro-access side of a debate that has split Labour down the middle. Her deviations on assisted dying are the sharpest in her voting record: she sits 42 percentage points above the Labour average on votes coded as pro-assisted-dying-access. Outside Westminster, she has secured over £1.5 million in government funding for playground upgrades in Hastings, organised a public meeting on bus service failures, and drawn consistently positive local coverage for hands-on constituency work. In December 2024 she voted against a Liberal Democrat motion to introduce proportional representation — one of the few non-assisted-dying rebel votes on her record.

At 77% voting participation she falls modestly below the Commons average, though her 130 speech contributions across 89 debates suggest active floor engagement. She votes with Labour in 99.3% of divisions, making her deviations on assisted dying and electoral reform genuinely notable exceptions. Her speeches cluster around the economy and jobs, local government, environment, and health — a broad spread with no single dominant specialism in the chamber.

Dollimore sits on the Statutory Instruments Select Committee, which reviews secondary legislation. Her stance profile shows strong alignment with workers' rights and progressive taxation votes, and low alignment with pro-business, pro-civil-liberties, and pro-parliamentary-scrutiny positions — broadly in line with the Labour whip. Local news coverage over the past 90 days spans culture, immigration, crime, and housing, with sentiment scores near zero on most issues, suggesting factual rather than notably positive or negative reporting. Voting data covers her full term since July 2024.
