Peter Lamb was elected as MP for Crawley at the General Election on the 4th July 2024. The count took place overnight on 4th/5th July and the results were announced in the early morning of 5th July.
Peter Lamb received 17453 votes which equates to 38% of the vote. Turnout was 61%. The Election results for Crawley Constituency are published on the Crawley Borough Council website.
There was fury as Labour MP Peter Lamb posted on X that OAPs have a ‘choice’ over whether to put the heating on after winter fuel payments cut from 10 million elderly people.
If people choose not to put the heating on after several above inflation increases in the state pension then that’s their choice. Anyone who genuinely needs the payment to afford it will still get it. Overall pensioners will benefit more from NHS capacity than extra cash.

After a huge backlash about his comments on the Winter Fuel Allowance, Peter Lamb posted on X that he “I’d like to apologise” but couldn’t bring himself to say sorry.
I’d like to apologise for a comment I made on X earlier this week regarding the changes to Winter Fuel Payments. It was never my intention to cause offence, and in hindsight my comments were clearly misjudged.
As the proud MP for Crawley it is my absolute priority to support the most vulnerable in our community, and pensioners in my constituency can be reassured I’ll be doing everything I can to support them during the winter months.
