Claire Young was elected as Liberal Democrat MP for Thornbury and Yate in July 2024 and remains in active service. She has participated in 307 debate contributions, ranking her 81st overall among all active MPs and 46th within her cohort of 2024-elected MPs, with particular focus on energy and utilities, procedural matters, and parliamentary procedure. However, her voting participation is notably lower at 34.26%, with 197 votes cast out of 575 eligible divisions, ranking her 587th overall and 69th among Liberal Democrat MPs. This represents a very large divergence between her strong debate contributions and significantly weaker voting record, a gap that cannot be explained by a government post as she holds no such position.
