Seema Malhotra (born 7 August 1972) is a British Labour and Co-operative Party politician who has been the Member of Parliament (MP) for Feltham and Heston since a by-election was held following the death of Alan Keen in 2011.
Of Indian descent, Malhotra is a former management consultant who worked for Accenture and PriceWaterhouseCoopers. She founded the Fabian Women's Network and was a previous National Chair of the Young Fabians.
While Labour was in government before 2010 she worked as an adviser to Liam Byrne and Ian Austin when they were regional ministers for the West Midlands. Following Gordon Brown's resignation as Labour leader in the wake of the 2010 general election she was the special adviser to Harriet Harman during her tenure as Leader of the Labour Party.
Malholtra entered Parliament in December 2011 after securing a majority of 6,203 in the Feltham and Heston by-election.
In August 2014, Ed Miliband appointed Malhotra to the newly created role of Shadow Minister for Preventing Violence Against Women and Girls. The role within Labour's Home Affairs team made her responsible for championing the causes of victims of rape, sexual assault and domestic violence as well as female genital mutilation, forced marriage and prostitution and trafficking.
