Dr Scott Arthur was elected to Edinburgh South West in July 2024 and is among the most active MPs in the current parliament, ranking 26th overall in voting participation with a 76.17% participation rate across 438 votes cast, and 30th overall in debate contributions with 568 total contributions across 311 debates participated in. His primary areas of focus in debates have been Foreign Affairs & Defence, Trade & Industry, and procedural matters, while his voting activity has concentrated on Parliamentary Procedure, Employment & Workers Rights, and Justice & Law. As a relatively newly elected MP, he ranks 298th in overall service length among active MPs but has quickly established himself as a particularly engaged backbencher in his cohort of 2024-elected MPs, ranking 21st in voting and 17th in debates among that group.
