Neale Hanvey.
Alba Party MP for Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath.

28 Mar 2026
Alba Party MP in a politically split seat.
Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath's MP presents an almost invisible parliamentary footprint in the available data. No votes recorded, no speeches logged, no committee memberships, and no significant news coverage combine to make Neale Hanvey one of the harder MPs to assess through conventional parliamentary metrics. Whether this reflects a data gap or limited Westminster engagement is difficult to determine from the figures alone.
As an Alba Party MP — a micro-party with a handful of seats — Hanvey operates outside the main parliamentary blocs, which can reduce opportunities to vote or speak in debates where larger parties dominate proceedings. Alba's position as a Scottish independence party also shapes its Westminster strategy: some smaller nationalist parties adopt a selective or limited engagement approach at Westminster as a matter of political principle, which may contextualise the absence of recorded activity.
It is worth noting the constituency listed — Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath — is a Scottish seat, not in England as the data header suggests; this appears to be a data labelling error. Hanvey has held the seat since December 2019, originally elected as an SNP candidate before defecting to Alba. Beyond this background, the available data is too thin to draw meaningful conclusions about his recent parliamentary behaviour. Constituents seeking a clearer picture of his current activity may find more useful information through his own communications, local press, or the Alba Party's published positions.
Neale Hanvey is no longer a Member, but was most recently the Alba Party MP for Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath, and left the Commons on 30 May 2024.
