Sir Geoffrey Cox was elected to represent Torridge and Tavistock in July 2024 and is among the longest-serving MPs in the current parliament, having first been elected in May 2005, ranking 43rd of 650 MPs for length of service and 14th among Conservative MPs. His parliamentary participation has been notably limited, with a voting participation rate of 41.38 percent across 180 votes cast out of 435 eligible divisions, ranking him 462nd overall and 83rd among Conservative MPs. His debate contributions have been particularly sparse, with only 20 contributions across 7 debates out of 6,681 eligible debates, placing him 638th overall and last among the 19 MPs elected in 2005, representing a very large divergence between his voting and debate participation ranks. His contributions to debates have focused on local government, foreign affairs and defence, and food and agriculture matters.
