Matt Rodda, the Labour (Co-op) MP for Reading Central first elected in June 2017, has participated in 261 debate contributions across 186 debates, ranking him 130th overall among all MPs and 5th among the cohort of MPs elected in 2017, with his contributions focused on Local Government, Trade & Industry, and Foreign Affairs & Defence. His voting participation has been considerably lower, with 244 votes cast out of 537 eligible divisions for a participation rate of 45.44%, placing him 410th overall in voting rankings, though he ranks 23rd within his 2017 cohort on this measure. The substantial divergence between his strong debate ranking and weaker voting ranking is notable and unexplained by any government post, as he currently holds no ministerial position. Rodda is of moderate seniority within the Labour group, ranking 104th of 403 Labour MPs for length
