Scorecard

20.7% Attendance In the least-present tenth of MPs who vote
119 Votes cast out of 575 divisions
456 No vote recorded absent, abstaining, paired or unable to attend
1 Against their own party divisions where they voted the other way to most Labour MPs
4 Interests declared none at £5,000 or more
758 Debates spoken in 1054 written questions tabled

Ranked 633 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.
