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.
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…”

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…”
“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…”

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…”
“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…”

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…”
“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…”

In their own words

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…”
“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…”

“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…”
“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
- AYEOpposition day: Supporting small business · 19 October 2021
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…”
“If anybody does not believe me, I am happy to take any hon. Members to the Earls Court site, where they will be able to see the huge disruption that has been caused to a whole neighbourhood of London by dust, noise, the removal of asbestos, the threat to the security of residents and property, and…”

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.
