A tale of two MPs

According to Hansard – in the current Parliament:

Hugo Swire has spoken 25 (no breakdown of whether speeches were in relation to his Foreign Office post or other matters) and has been present for 55.76% of votes.

Neil Parish has spoken 61 times and has been present for 84.77% of votes.

However, Mr Swire is Minister of State at the Foreign Office with special responsibility for India, the Far East, Latin America and the Falklands, as well as Australasia so that must keep him pretty busy.

One thought on “A tale of two MPs”

  1. I have had a They Work For You (or similar) subscription for a few months now which tells me every time Mr Swire is reported in Hansard, and I have never had a notification of him speaking on anything other than FCO affairs. As far as I can remember since I started receiving these he has never even mentioned East Devon much less campaigned for anything of importance to us.
