Scorecard

81.0% Attendance Turns up more often than most MPs who vote
478 Votes cast out of 590 divisions
112 No vote recorded absent, abstaining, paired or unable to attend

5 Interests declared 4 at £5,000 or more
338 Debates spoken in 1074 written questions tabled

Ranked 156 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.
