Scorecard

61.9% Attendance Below the median of MPs who vote
356 Votes cast out of 575 divisions
219 No vote recorded absent, abstaining, paired or unable to attend

17 Interests declared none at £5,000 or more

Ranked 489 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.
