Scorecard

48.7% Attendance In the least-present tenth of MPs who vote
280 Votes cast out of 575 divisions
295 No vote recorded absent, abstaining, paired or unable to attend

16 Interests declared 6 at £5,000 or more

Ranked 582 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.
