Andy Slaughter’s record in Parliament

Labour · MP for Hammersmith and Chiswick, the seat covering Chiswick · email your MP

What your MP has actually voted for, said in the Commons and asked ministers about, topic by topic. We don’t tell you what they think — we show you what they did, with a link to the official record on every line, so you can read it yourself.

88%of Commons votes in the last year — 268 of 304 divisions

MPs miss votes for many reasons — ministerial or shadow duties, select committees, constituency business, illness, or an agreed pairing with an MP from another party. A percentage on its own doesn’t tell you which.

Has said “Chiswick” in the Commons 9 times.

My seat is changing: if I am successful in the next election, I will keep Hammersmith but gain Chiswick. There are many links between Hammersmith and Chiswick, and one of them is Yeats. Anyone who has not done so should go on the Yeats walk, which begins in Hammersmith and takes you on a journey…

How many times they have spoken or asked a minister about each topic in the record below. It shows where their time goes — not what they think about it.

Housing

Building, renting and homelessness

In their own words

The second issue on cause, which I encounter every month—not a month goes by when I do not hear about this, usually in a social housing block of flats in my constituency—is fires caused by lithium batteries. I say fires, but they are usually explosions. This is an extraordinary problem that the…

Building Safety and Social Housing · 6 July 2023 · Hansard

Not only could I have made this speech in any year since I was first elected in 2005, I have made this speech in every year since then, because sadly, since long before that, there has been a sustained decline of social housing. Effectively, half the council homes have been lost since the right to…

Rivers and sewage

The Thames, water quality and discharges

In their own words

Two and a half years ago, there was heavy rain in London, and hundreds of my constituents’ homes, basements and ground floors were flooded with raw sewage. For some of those properties, it was the third or fourth time it had happened. When it happened back in the 2000s, there was the Counters Creek…

Water Companies: Executive Bonuses · 5 December 2023 · Hansard

It is completely unreasonable in the 21st century—given that it was thought completely unreasonable in the 19th century—to have huge quantities of raw, albeit diluted, sewage flow into the tidal Thames area on a weekly basis. Nobody has come up with a convincing alternative. People talk about…

Transport

Rail, buses, roads and cycling

In their own words

I did, however, receive a reply to my letter to the Secretary of State for Transport after the cancellation of the future stages of HS2. I had asked for a little of the £36 billion to be redirected to Hammersmith bridge, given that 0.5% of that would pay the full cost, and we know that the…

Bridges in London: Maintenance Funding · 14 November 2023 · Hansard

We know the arguments against Heathrow: congestion on the roads and on public transport, noise pollution, air pollution, safety and the threat to whole communities. Those arguments have not changed. What has changed is that the aviation sector does not support Heathrow. We have expansion plans from…

NHS and health

Hospitals, GPs and social care

In their own words

I beg to move, That this House has considered the New Hospital Programme and Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust. It is a pleasure to see you in the Chair this afternoon, Sir Mark. I understand that our proceedings may be interrupted for some time, but let us make a start. I am delighted to see…

Schools

Education and childcare

In their own words

May I press the Secretary of State on the source of the funds needed to rebuild the RAAC schools? I ask because repairs to RAAC hospitals are coming from delaying indefinitely other hospital rebuilding schemes, including two in my constituency. Will any future schools capital projects be similarly…

Policing and crime

Police numbers, safety and courts

In their own words

The Crime and Policing Bill presents the perfect opportunity for the Government to put this right by repealing part 4 of the 2022 Act, which, let us remember, allows police to ban Gypsies and Travellers from an area, to arrest and fine them, and even to seize their home. I hope to receive positive…

Crime and Policing Bill · 18 June 2025 · Hansard

This is a timely debate, as Members considered the knife crime provisions of the Crime and Policing Bill only last week. I congratulate the Backbench Business Committee on granting time for it, and thank the hon. Member for Huntingdon (Ben Obese-Jecty) for his compelling speech. We have heard some…

Cost of living

Bills, benefits and wages

How they voted

In their own words

Many in my constituency, where the cost of living is extremely high, are getting no money and they have just had a terrible two years.

Copyright (Rights and Remuneration of Musicians, Etc.) Bill · 3 December 2021 · Hansard

Write to Slaughter about cost of living

Planning and development

What gets built, and where

In their own words

There is no assessment of needs or statutory duty to provide sites any longer, and they are not in the strategic planning provisions. Can we rectify that in the Bill so that we have a level playing field for everybody who is in need of housing?

Planning and Infrastructure Bill · 24 March 2025 · Hansard

Let me read to the right hon. Lady some of the measures that were in force before the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act was passed: temporary stop notices, injunctions to protect land from unauthorised encampments, licensing of caravan sites, possession orders, interim possession orders,…

Climate and environment

Emissions, air quality and green space

How they voted

In their own words

Will he ensure that there is a full cost-benefit analysis of any plans for a third runway which looks at the cost to the climate, to public health and to the already saturated transport infrastructure? Almost 40 years of dealing with Heathrow has taught me that what is good for Heathrow’s…

Growing the UK Economy · 29 January 2025 · Hansard

What stands behind the Bill even more than the funding of local authorities in their discharge of the process is the fact that most local housing authorities, and particularly those in high-stress areas, are not in a benign climate. We are not in a climate in which chief executives and council…

Small business

High streets and the self-employed

How they voted

In their own words

I made this point in the debate on the economic effects of the pandemic, because health and solvency are two sides of the same coin, and those most at risk from the virus are often those with the least financial security, including those running small businesses. The greater caution and method in…

Coronavirus: Supporting Businesses and Individuals · 23 February 2021 · Hansard

If anybody does not believe me, I am happy to take any hon.

How this page works

Everything here comes from Parliament’s own published data: the Commons votes register, Hansard and the written questions service. For each topic we search the record for a key term and show the most recent results, along with how many we found in total so you can see what isn’t on the page.

“What they work on most” is simply a count of those results — the topics they raise most often, which is a fact about their diary, not their opinions. Motions are Early Day Motions they tabled themselves, from Parliament’s EDM service; we show only ones from the current Parliament, because a motion from a previous one tells you what an MP argued then, not what they are pressing for now.

Last checked 1 August 2026; it refreshes every week.

We publish the record, not a verdict on it. Boroughly takes no political position and never characterises an MP’s views, motives or party politics — a vote is reported as a vote, a quote as a quote. Votes can be procedural, and a single division rarely tells the whole story, so the links matter: follow them. Spot something wrong? Tell us.
