Represented by Con since 2024. Covers Redhill (Reigate and Banstead), Tadworth and Epsom Downs and Reigate. Population 116,556.

A near-perfect Conservative loyalist with one notable exception: Rebecca Paul has consistently backed the House of Lords against the government across multiple recent ping-pong votes, supporting Lords amendments to both the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill and the Pension Schemes Bill in April 2026 -- including one amendment requiring a review of public sector pension sustainability and another resisting government powers to direct pension fund investments. Her stance profile confirms this pattern: she scores 100% on pro-Lords-scrutiny votes and 90% on pro-parliamentary-scrutiny measures, making her one of the more institutionally conservative members of her party despite voting with it 99.7% of the time overall. The highest-impact news linked to her constituency concerns her predecessor Crispin Blunt, the former Reigate MP fined in March 2026 for possession of chemsex drugs -- coverage that scores heavily negative but relates to his conduct, not hers.

Paul participates in 78% of Commons votes, slightly below the typical average, and her speeches -- 395 contributions across 112 debates -- lean heavily toward health, social care, local government, and crime. She deviates from her Conservative colleagues most sharply on criminal justice reform, voting in that direction 80% of the time against a party average of 25%, a gap of 55 percentage points. She also scores modestly higher than her party on public services funding and welfare expansion.
