Conservative and Unionist Party MP in a politically split seat.

Simon Baynes currently shows no recorded parliamentary activity in the available data — no votes cast, no speeches logged, and no committee memberships. This is an unusual profile, and the most likely explanation is that Baynes lost his Clwyd South seat at the 2024 general election, meaning the data here reflects a period when he was no longer an MP. Constituents searching for their current representative should verify who now holds the seat.

The voting and speech record is therefore a blank. There is no pattern of party loyalty or rebellion to report, no policy focus visible from speech topics, and no committee work on record. For the period when Baynes did serve — from December 2019 through to the 2024 election — no data has been supplied here to assess his parliamentary engagement or any deviations from the Conservative party line.

The news coverage attached to his name covers Welsh Senedd boundary changes and a Senedd member's column, none of which relate to his Westminster role. This confirms the data gap rather than filling it. Beyond The Vote does not have sufficient information to give Clwyd South constituents a meaningful account of Baynes's recent conduct as an MP — and if he is no longer their MP, readers should identify and contact their current representative through the UK Parliament website.

Background

Simon Baynes is no longer a Member, but was most recently the Conservative MP for Clwyd South, and left the Commons on 30 May 2024.
