Scorecard

91.3% Attendance Turns up more often than most MPs who vote
525 Votes cast out of 575 divisions
50 No vote recorded absent, abstaining, paired or unable to attend

5 Interests declared none at £5,000 or more
68 Debates spoken in 5 written questions tabled

Ranked 19 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.
