Scorecard

78.1% Attendance Turns up more often than most MPs who vote
461 Votes cast out of 590 divisions
129 No vote recorded absent, abstaining, paired or unable to attend

27 Interests declared 2 at £5,000 or more
169 Debates spoken in 346 written questions tabled

Ranked 206 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.
