In Parliament, Le Fur serves on the Finance Committee. Additionally, he held one of the six vice presidencies of the National Assembly (2007–2012; 2012–2017; 2017–2022) until the end of the 15th legislature of the Fifth Republic; as such he was part of the National Assembly's Bureau.[2]
In addition to his committee assignments, Le Fur is a member of the French-Nigerian Parliamentary Friendship Group and the French-Ukrainian Parliamentary Friendship Group.[2]
In April 2013, Le Fur was part of a demonstration in Paris against the legalisation of same-sex marriage in France. A video was shared of him trying to physically hold back National Gendarmerie personnel as they were attempting to remove protestors who were sat on the ground. After he failed, Le Fur knocked the hat off a gendarme's head.[5] He later stated he stayed until late in the night wearing his official sash to be recognisable as a Member of Parliament alongside other demonstrators to avoid the demonstration being the target of police violence.[6] Later that month, he was sanctioned in the National Assembly along with Yves Albarello and Daniel Fasquelle for their behaviour in Parliament.[7]
