Fabian Hamilton, the Labour (Co-op) MP for Leeds North East, is one of the longest-serving members of the current parliament, having first been elected in May 1997 and ranking 13th overall for length of service and 5th within the Labour (Co-op) party. He cast 297 votes out of 537 eligible divisions, achieving a participation rate of 55.31% and ranking 240th overall among MPs, though he ranks 171st within his party group. His debate participation is notably limited, with only 26 total contributions across 14 debates, placing him 634th overall and last among the 17 MPs first elected in 1997, with his contributions focused on Foreign Affairs and Defence, International Development, and procedural matters. This represents a stark divergence between his voting and debate activity that is not explained by a government post, as he currently holds no ministerial position.
