Scorecard

88.5% Attendance Turns up more often than most MPs who vote
509 Votes cast out of 575 divisions
66 No vote recorded absent, abstaining, paired or unable to attend
13 Against their own party divisions where they voted the other way to most Labour MPs
9 Interests declared none at £5,000 or more
58 Debates spoken in 24 written questions tabled

Ranked 42 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.
