Questions
MPs can ask ministers questions in writing. The questions show what an MP is working on, which votes cannot.
George Freeman has not asked any written questions in the last 12 months. Government ministers cannot ask them, so this can simply reflect an MP’s role.

What does this mean?
Parties tell their MPs how to vote. Most MPs usually follow that. A high or low count says nothing on its own about whether an MP is good or bad, and we do not rank MPs by it. We only count votes where parties gave instructions, not free votes. How we count it
