Scorecard

45.7% Attendance In the least-present tenth of MPs who vote
263 Votes cast out of 575 divisions
312 No vote recorded absent, abstaining, paired or unable to attend
5 Against their own party divisions where they voted the other way to most Liberal Democrat MPs
15 Interests declared 3 at £5,000 or more
822 Debates spoken in 607 written questions tabled

Ranked 593 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.
