Scorecard

81.0% Attendance Turns up more often than most MPs who vote
466 Votes cast out of 575 divisions
109 No vote recorded absent, abstaining, paired or unable to attend
22 Against their own party divisions where they voted the other way to most Labour MPs
5 Interests declared 4 at £5,000 or more
333 Debates spoken in 1066 written questions tabled

Ranked 158 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.
