With no recorded votes, speeches, or committee activity in the available data window, Trudy Harrison presents as effectively absent from measurable parliamentary activity in the period under review. This is a notable data point in itself: constituents in Copeland currently have no recent parliamentary record against which to assess their MP's engagement.
Harrison has held the Copeland seat since winning a 2017 by-election -- itself a significant moment, as it was the first by-election gain for a governing party in 35 years. She previously served as a Parliamentary Private Secretary and held a junior ministerial role at the Department for Transport and later the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs under the Conservative government. No voting participation rate can be calculated for the current period, and no speech topics or committee work are on record to indicate where her current priorities lie.
Votes less often than 100% of MPs.
