Roll-call voting record

Recorded votes only. Parliament held 5,568 roll-call votes while Laurence Farreng held the seat, 537 of them the final vote on a text. A member with no vote recorded may have been on parliamentary business, ill, on leave, or present without voting - the published record does not distinguish these and gives no reason. Votes taken by show of hands or by secret ballot are not recorded by name and are absent here.
