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.
