Scorecard

81.6% Attendance Turns up more often than most MPs who vote
469 Votes cast out of 575 divisions
106 No vote recorded absent, abstaining, paired or unable to attend
2 Against their own party divisions where they voted the other way to most Labour MPs
19 Interests declared 5 at £5,000 or more
77 Debates spoken in 52 written questions tabled

Ranked 152 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.
