Sir Julian Lewis, the Conservative MP for New Forest East, has been a parliamentarian since May 1997, making him one of the longest-serving members of the current parliament and the seventh longest-serving Conservative. He is a highly active debater, ranking seventh overall among all MPs with 637 contributions across 444 debates, particularly focusing on foreign affairs, defence, and justice matters. However, his voting participation is considerably lower at 48 percent, with only 276 votes cast out of 575 eligible divisions, placing him 348th overall in voting activity. This significant divergence between his debate contributions and voting participation is notable given that he does not hold a government post.
