Represented by LD since 2024. Covers Epsom, Ewell and Ashtead. Population 107,871.

A consistent party-line voter with an unusually active constituency presence, Helen Maguire has been visible in Westminster on legislation affecting local people. Her most recent votes, all cast on 15 April 2026, saw her back House of Lords amendments to both the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill and the Pension Schemes Bill -- opposing the Labour government's attempts to overturn changes made by the upper chamber. On pensions, she sided with those resisting ministerial powers to direct where private funds invest, and with protecting smaller pension schemes from forced mergers. These votes are in line with Liberal Democrat positions rather than personal rebellions, and she has no rebel votes on record.

Maguire participates in 63% of Commons votes -- below the typical MP average -- though she has racked up 306 contributions across 219 debates, suggesting she is more active in debate than in the voting lobby. Defence dominates her speeches (97 contributions), followed by economy and jobs, social care, and health -- a pattern consistent with her military background as an army veteran and her visible engagement with veterans' mental health issues. Her stance profile shows strong alignment with pro-climate action and parliamentary scrutiny positions, and she is notably more supportive of welfare reform than her Liberal Democrat colleagues -- 38 percentage points above the party average. She has consistently opposed the employer National Insurance increase.
