Scorecard

68.3% Attendance Below the median of MPs who vote
388 Votes cast out of 590 divisions, plus 15 as teller
187 No vote recorded absent, abstaining, paired or unable to attend

26 Interests declared 14 at £5,000 or more
98 Debates spoken in 173 written questions tabled

Ranked 397 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.
