- Whole term, 620 final votes; 620 of 794 decisions had a final vote recorded by name.
- “No vote recorded” is not the same as absent: leave, illness and chairing the sitting look the same.
- A group’s line is inferred from its members’ votes — Parliament publishes no whip.
- This member changed group in this period: each vote counts them in the group of that day, and they are compared with each group over the roll calls held while they sat in it — not with one group’s median.
Every roll-call vote of the term with the member’s position, newest first.
