209 Votes cast out of 575 divisions, plus 3 as teller
363 No vote recorded absent, abstaining, paired or unable to attend
n/a Against their own party sits as an independent, so there is no party line to measure against
34 Interests declared 2 at £5,000 or more
176 Debates spoken in 311 written questions tabled

Ranked 615 of 638 MPs for attendance. The median of MPs who vote is 72.3%. 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.
