574 No vote recorded absent, abstaining, paired or unable to attend
0 Against their own party divisions where they voted the other way to most Conservative MPs
6 Interests declared none at £5,000 or more
1176 Debates spoken in 196 written questions tabled

Not ranked. The Speaker and the three Deputy Speakers give up voting on taking the Chair; a 0% attendance figure for them measures the office, not the person. They are excluded from the ranking so that they do not distort everyone else's position either.
