Lloyd Hatton.

Constituency campaigning defines Lloyd Hatton's first two years in Westminster. He secured £3.8 million for a new SEND school on Portland by pressing the Prime Minister at PMQs — a win that local coverage attributed directly to over a year of sustained lobbying. He has made similar sustained efforts behind the MEMO Portland regeneration project, meeting the Chancellor and five ministers across three departments over 18 months to push for investment in what he calls "a success story waiting to happen." He has only once voted against his party: in January 2026 he broke ranks to oppose new MHRA medical device fees, siding with critics who argued the charges rose too steeply too soon after a previous increase.

At 83% participation he sits a few points below the Commons average, though participation rates for newer MPs can vary. He votes with Labour 99.8% of the time — one of the more loyal backbenchers in this Parliament. His stance scores reveal clear patterns: he is reliably aligned with Labour on progressive taxation and workers' rights, but scores well below his party average on parliamentary scrutiny and civil liberties votes, suggesting he backs the government when it resists additional oversight mechanisms. His deviation data is more striking: he votes for assisted dying access 31 percentage points more often than the typical Labour MP and 23 points less often in favour of restrictions, marking him as a notably committed supporter of the legislation.

His 127 contributions span economy and jobs, local government, health, and fiscal policy — a spread consistent with his Public Accounts Committee seat, which scrutinises government spending. News coverage over the past 90 days is high in volume (128 articles) but the sentiment scoring returns a flat average, suggesting broadly neutral rather than controversial local coverage. The data available covers his voting record, speech topics, and local press; detailed committee hearing transcripts are not included here.
