Conservative and Unionist Party MP in Liberal Democrats-controlled territory.

One of the most prominent Conservatives on the assisted dying debate, Hunt broke with the majority of his parliamentary party five times on 20 June 2025 — voting for Third Reading of the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill while opposing tightening amendments that would have disqualified applicants motivated by not wanting to be a burden. That cluster of rebel votes marks the sharpest recent divergence from Conservative orthodoxy, and his voting profile reflects it: he sits 58 percentage points above his party average on assisted dying access and well below it on assisted dying restrictions.

His overall voting participation stands at 41% — below the Commons average — but when he does vote, Hunt is a 96.5% party-line Conservative, consistently opposing tax increases and backing business-friendly legislation. Speeches span a wide range: economy and jobs dominate (25 contributions), followed by defence (17), social care (14), and health (13). His stance data shows firm resistance to the current government agenda — 0% alignment on the pro-government-agenda metric — alongside strong support for parliamentary scrutiny and Lords oversight. On the National Security (State Threats) Bill in June 2026, he backed amendments preserving judicial oversight and opposed the timetable motion restricting debate, a pattern consistent with his scrutiny stance.

Local coverage over the past 90 days has been broadly neutral, with housing the most-covered issue — he raised an infrastructure levy problem with the housing minister and criticised an unauthorised development in a Surrey village. His former role as Health Secretary surfaces in media discussions of pandemic preparedness. Hunt holds no current select committee seat, a notable absence given his past prominence as chair of the Health Select Committee. No voting data predating the current Parliament is available here.
