Scorecard

74.6% Attendance Turns up more often than most MPs who vote
434 Votes cast out of 590 divisions, plus 6 as teller
150 No vote recorded absent, abstaining, paired or unable to attend
1 Against their own party divisions where they voted the other way to most Conservative MPs
4 Interests declared none at £5,000 or more
306 Debates spoken in 5984 written questions tabled

Ranked 277 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.
