Nick Thomas-Symonds Labour Member of Parliament for Torfaen

About Nick

It is the privilege of my life to represent the Torfaen constituency where I was born, brought up, and live. I was honoured to be elected in 2015 and re-elected in 2017, 2019, and 2024.

In Parliament, I am proud to have changed the law to make it easier for off-patent drugs to get to those who need them, including cancer patients and those with MS and Parkinson's. Nick was appointed Shadow Secretary of State for International Trade in November 2021, and later served as Shadow Minister Without Portfolio in the Cabinet Office.

Following the 2024 General Election, Nick was appointed Paymaster General and Minister for the Cabinet Office, with responsibility for the Constitution and European Union Relations.
