A marginal seat — won by just 1,239 votes (3.4%) in 2019.
Available data on Simon Baynes is too thin to support a meaningful activity briefing. No voting participation, speech records, or news coverage have been captured for the current period -- this may reflect a data gap rather than confirmed inactivity, particularly given that Baynes lost his Clwyd South seat at the July 2024 general election, ending his tenure as an MP.
During his time in parliament from December 2019, Baynes represented Clwyd South -- a seat spanning parts of northeast Wales -- as a Conservative MP. No committee memberships, notable rebel votes, or distinctive speech patterns are recorded in the available data, which would suggest a broadly low-profile parliamentary presence during his term, though the absence of data makes firm conclusions difficult.
Con took this seat from Lab after 3 consecutive elections.
