Phillippa Frances Heylings,[2] known as Pippa Heylings, is a British Liberal Democrat politician who has served as Member of Parliament (MP) for South Cambridgeshire since 2024.[3] She has been a member of the South Cambridgeshire District Council for Histon and Impington since 2018 and chairs the council's Climate Change and Environment Advisory Committee.[4]
Early life
Heylings was born in Kingston upon Hull,[1] her mother a nurse and her father a GP, and grew up with three brothers. In 1997, Heylings graduated from Rhodes University in South Africa with a master's degree in environmental education.[5]
Parliamentary career
Heylings was elected as MP for South Cambridgeshire at the 2024 general election. She won 25,704 votes (46.8%), with a majority of 10,641 over the second-placed Conservative candidate. There were six candidates and a turnout of 71%.[6] Following the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the constituency's boundaries had changed, so that the 2024 seat was made up of parts of the previous South Cambridgeshire constituency (67.4% by area and 72.2% by population of the new seat), South East Cambridgeshire (31.9% by area and 18.8% by population) and Cambridge (0.7% by area and 9.0% by population).[7] The notional 2019 result for the new seat was a narrow Conservative win over Liberal Democrat (43.5% to 41.0%),[8] and Heylings's result in the new seat was described as a Liberal Democrat gain from the Conservatives.[6]
Personal life
Heylings moved to Impington in the South Cambridgeshire District in 2012.[9][4]
