59 No vote recorded absent, abstaining, paired or unable to attend

80 Debates spoken in 33 written questions tabled

Ranked 28 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.
