- ↑ One Conservative MP acts as a Deputy Speaker, so does not vote.
- ↑ Two Labour MPs act as Deputy Speakers, so do not vote.
- ↑ 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.
- ↑ One MP has been suspended from the parliamentary party due to an expenses scandal but remains a Labour member.
- ↑ 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 Eric Illsley.
- ↑ 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.
