Louise Haigh (born 22 July 1987) is a British Labour politician. She was elected as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Sheffield Heeley at the May 2015 general election, and is the youngest Labour MP.[1]

Early life

Haigh grew up on Abbeydale Road, Sheffield, and now lives in Norfolk Park, Sheffield.[2] She was educated at Sheffield High School and the University of Nottingham.[3] Her grandfather and uncle were trade union officials.[4]

After graduating Haigh worked for the local council youth service between 2006 and 2008. She then began working in Parliament, where she was the co-ordinator of the All Party Parliamentary Group on International Corporate Responsibility.[5] During this time she was also a Unite shop steward and volunteered as a Special Constable.[6]

From 2012 Haigh worked for Aviva as Public Policy Manager, responsible for corporate governance and responsible investment policy.[7][8][9]

Political career

Haigh was selected to stand for the Labour in Sheffield Heeley in May 2014,[10] and was elected to Parliament at the May 2015 general election.

Haigh was one of 36 Labour MPs to nominate Jeremy Corbyn as a candidate in the Labour leadership election of 2015.[11]

In September 2015 Haigh was appointed Shadow Minister for Civil Service and Digital Reform.[12][13] The role, newly expanded under Jeremy Corbyn,[14] covers the Government's digital strategy, the Freedom of Information Act, data security and privacy.[15]

Haigh was declared the "most hard-working" new MP in February 2016 after a study of the activity of MPs elected in 2015.[16][17] [18]
