83<ref>Treats the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats as a single group; includes any suspended MPs; does not include the Speaker and Speaker's Deputies (who do not usually vote) or Sinn Fein (which does not take the seats). |
- ↑ One Conservative MP acts as a Deputy Speaker, so does not vote.
- ↑ Two Labour MPs act as Deputy Speakers, so do not vote. Denis MacShane has been suspended from the parliamentary party, so is counted as an independent.
- ↑ Sinn Féin contests UK general elections but does not take the seats; therefore, its MPs do not vote or speak in the House of Commons.
- ↑ Works closely with the Liberal Democrats, but is a separate organisation.
- ↑ Independent politicians stand for election on a variety of issues and so do not necessarily co-operate in the House of Commons.
- ↑ Lady Sylvia Hermon and Denis MacShane.
- ↑ Do not normally vote; the Speaker is not a member of any party, while the Deputies can maintain membership but are not involved in party political activities.
- ↑ Seats awaiting the election of a new MP in a by-election or general election.
