Pat McFadden has been an MP since May 2005, making him the 43rd longest-serving member of the current parliament and the 23rd longest-serving among Labour MPs. As Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, his low voting participation rate of 28.7 percent is conventional for a minister in a government post. His debate contributions are more substantial, with 790 contributions across 87 debates, ranking him 356th overall among all MPs, and he has focused particularly on employment and workers' rights, welfare and benefits, and procedural matters. Despite his long service and ministerial position, there is a notable divergence between his voting and debate activity levels.
