Created in the 2023 boundary review, replacing Mid Worcestershire.

Dispatch
Apr 2026

Won by Con in its first election in 2024. Covers Evesham, Droitwich Spa and Fernhill Heath. Population 110,426, notably older (median age 46 vs 41 nationally).

Consistently voting against Labour's attempts to override House of Lords amendments, Huddleston has been active on two significant legislative fronts in April 2026 -- backing Lords changes to both the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill and the Pension Schemes Bill. On pensions, he opposed government powers that critics labelled a "power grab" over how private pension funds invest savers' money, and backed protections for smaller pension schemes from forced mergers. Locally, he made headlines criticising the government's housing planning decisions as a "shambles" after Wychavon was dropped from development plans, citing infrastructure concerns on behalf of constituents.

A 100% party-line voter with no rebel votes on record, Huddleston is nonetheless selective in his parliamentary attendance, participating in 74% of votes -- slightly below the Commons average. His speeches cluster around economy and jobs, fiscal policy, and community issues, with local government and social care also featuring. His stance profile marks him firmly in pro-business (93%) and pro-parliamentary-scrutiny (94%) territory, while he sits well below his party average on workers' rights (7%) and progressive taxation (3%).
