Rachael Maskell, the Labour (Co-op) MP for York Central, has been elected since May 2015, making her the 118th longest-serving MP overall and 65th within her party. She demonstrates a notable divergence between her parliamentary activities, ranking 9th among all MPs in debate contributions with 417 contributions across 304 debates, while ranking 208th in voting participation with a 58.64% participation rate across eligible divisions. Her debate contributions have focused primarily on other procedural matters, foreign affairs and defence, and child welfare and safeguarding, whereas her voting activity has concentrated on parliamentary procedure, justice and law, and employment and workers rights. As she holds no government post, her low voting participation relative to her very high debate activity is distinctive and not explained by ministerial responsibilities.
