Nusrat Ghani.

Nusrat Ghani's most visible recent work has been constituency-focused rather than parliamentary: she has pushed hard against the government's use of Crowborough Army Camp as asylum accommodation, escalating her challenge by securing the attention of the Home Affairs Committee Chair to request a formal inquiry into what she calls inadequate and inconsistent information provided to locals. That campaign has dominated her recent local press coverage, with the site now reported to be half full of asylum seekers, and Ghani actively contesting the government's cost-effectiveness claims.

Her parliamentary voting record is almost invisible: she has voted in just one of 568 divisions — a solitary aye on a King's Speech amendment in July 2024 — which puts her participation rate sharply below the Commons average. Where she has voted, she has stayed fully within Conservative lines. Her speeches tell a different story: 2,571 contributions across 671 debates suggest sustained engagement with parliamentary work, with the economy and jobs, local government, defence, and social care dominating her contributions over time.

Context matters here. Ghani has served since 2015 and chairs several private bills committees — including the Royal Albert Hall Bill and Norwich Livestock Market Bill — which consume parliamentary time but generate few headline votes. Her near-zero voting record likely reflects a period of reduced chamber attendance rather than disengagement from parliament altogether, though the data does not explain why. Local news coverage skews heavily toward immigration, driven by the Crowborough camp story; sentiment scores on that issue are low, suggesting coverage is critical of the government's approach rather than celebratory of her response.
