Chris Clarkson.
Conservative and Unionist Party MP for Heywood and Middleton.
26 Apr 2026
Conservative and Unionist Party MP in a politically split seat.
Chris Clarkson lost the Heywood and Middleton seat at the 2024 general election, which explains the absent voting and speech data — he is no longer a sitting MP, and this briefing covers a period in which he holds no parliamentary role.
His record during his 2019--2024 tenure was that of a steady, low-profile backbencher. He voted consistently with the Conservative party line and held no significant committee positions. No notable rebel votes were recorded across his time in the Commons, and his speech activity did not generate a distinctive topical footprint in the available data.
The single news item linked to his constituency — an NHS online referral tool for post-menopausal bleeding checks — does not reference Clarkson and reflects local health service activity rather than any MP intervention. Beyond The Vote holds no speech, committee, or voting data for the current parliamentary term, because he is not part of it. Constituents in Heywood and Middleton should note that the seat is now held by a different MP following the July 2024 election.
Chris Clarkson is no longer a Member, but was most recently the Conservative MP for Heywood and Middleton, and left the Commons on 30 May 2024.
