Scorecard

41.5% Attendance In the least-present tenth of MPs who vote
245 Votes cast out of 590 divisions
345 No vote recorded absent, abstaining, paired or unable to attend
14 Against their own party divisions where they voted the other way to most Labour MPs
3 Interests declared 1 at £5,000 or more
548 Debates spoken in 1295 written questions tabled

Ranked 599 of 638 MPs for attendance. The median of MPs who vote is 72.4%. Ministers and front-benchers vote less often than backbenchers for reasons of office rather than absenteeism, and Parliament does not publish reasons for any absence — the ranking is a starting point for a question, not an answer to one.
