Won by LD in its first election in 2024 by 9.9%. Covers Bicester, Kidlington and Eynsham. Population 97,054. Recorded crime is 53% below the national average.

Calum Miller made his most distinctive mark in Parliament on 20 June 2025, when he broke from the Liberal Democrat majority five times during the Report Stage of the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill. His rebel votes clustered around two concerns: closing a potential loophole by which someone might use voluntary starvation to meet terminal illness eligibility criteria, and ensuring procedural continuity in the assessment process. This pattern of deviations -- more pronounced than his party peers on end-of-life autonomy (+28pp) and assisted dying safeguards (+26pp) -- suggests a considered, if independent, position on the bill rather than general dissent. Beyond Westminster, he has recently secured notable local wins: delivering a 4,500-signature petition that helped shift East West Rail from closure to an underpass solution at a Bicester level crossing, and leading a sustained parliamentary campaign that pressured the government and Environment Agency to commit £8 million to clean up an illegal waste site in his constituency.

At 70% voting participation, Miller sits below the Commons average, though his 97.1% party-line alignment otherwise marks him as a reliable Lib Dem vote. His stance profile shows strong opposition to the employer National Insurance increase (100%), support for parliamentary and Lords scrutiny (100% and 96% respectively), and pro-business leanings (81%). He diverges notably from his party on housing development, voting in that direction only 8% of the time -- striking for a South East constituency under significant development pressure. His 272 contributions span defence, the economy, social care, and local government.
