Westminster: How often has your Scottish MP voted and spoken in House of Commons since the general election?

The Scotsman has analysed how many times Scotland’s MPs have voted and spoken in the House of Commons since the general election on July 4 last year.

We have looked at how many times each MP has voted, how many early day motions they have supported, how many spoken contributions they have made, and how many written questions they have submitted to the UK government.

The MPs who have voted the most times are Chris Kane (Labour MP for Stirling and Strathallan) and Brian Leishman (Labour MP for Alloa and Grangemouth), who have both voted 225 times.

The MP who has voted the least is SNP Westminster leader and Aberdeen South MP Stephen Flynn on 66 votes. The SNP has a long-standing policy of abstaining on votes that do not affect Scotland.

When it comes to speaking in debates, the MP who has spoken the most is Lib Dem MP for Edinburgh West Christine Jardine, who has made 146 spoken contributions.

By contrast, Imogen Walker (Labour MP for Hamilton and Clyde Valley) has only spoken eight times, and Pamela Nash (Labour MP for Motherwell, Wishaw and Carluke) has only spoken ten times.

Early day motions are motions which are submitted for debate in the House of Commons and supporting them puts an MPs’ point of view on record. Government ministers, whips and parliamentary private secretaries do not sign these. For example, Scottish Secretary Ian Murray has not signed any as he is a government minister.

Ms Jardine has signed the most early day motions on 321. From those who are allowed to support the motions, six Labour MPs have not supported any: Johanna Baxter (Paisley and Renfrewshire South), Alan Gemmell (Central Ayrshire), Chris Murray (Edinburgh East and Musselburgh), Ms Nash, Ms Walker and Melanie Ward (Cowdenbeath and Kirkcaldy).

Written questions can be submitted to ask government ministers about their work - therefore, government ministers will be answering rather than asking.

The MP who has asked the most is shadow Scottish secretary Andrew Bowie (West Aberdeenshire and Kincardine) on 382.

Ms Nash has asked zero questions, and Dr Zubir Ahmed (Labour MP for Glasgow South West) and John Grady (Labour MP for Glasgow East) have asked only one.
