Scorecard

42.8% Attendance In the least-present tenth of MPs who vote

246 Votes cast out of 575 divisions

329 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

45 Interests declared 32 at £5,000 or more

195 Debates spoken in 178 written questions tabled

Ranked 599 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.
