Read these with care

The median is the middle member: half did more, half did less. It is less affected by a few very active members than the average.
Ministers answer questions rather than ask them, and the presiding officers rarely vote, so their patterns differ.
Government backbenchers are often given arranged "Dorothy Dixer" questions, which raises their question counts.
Votes only record ayes and noes, so a missed vote cannot be told apart from a pair (an agreed absence).
Counts cover only what is on this site, and do not measure electorate or committee work. New members have less history.
