Richard Foord, Liberal Democrat MP for Honiton and Sidmouth, was elected to the current parliament on July 4, 2024 and is relatively new to parliament, having first been elected in June 2022. He ranks 11th overall among all MPs for debate contributions with 483 contributions across 366 debates, significantly outperforming his voting participation where he casts votes in just 52 percent of eligible divisions and ranks 276th overall. His debate contributions focus primarily on Foreign Affairs & Defence, International Development, and Environment & Climate, while his voting participation concentrates on Parliamentary Procedure, Employment & Workers Rights, and Justice & Law. This represents a very large divergence between his strong debate ranking and considerably lower voting ranking, which cannot be explained by a government post as he currently holds none.
