Voting record
In the 284 recorded divisions where Laura Trott and at least one other Conservative member were recorded voting, Laura Trott voted the same way as most voting Conservative members 280 times (98.6%).
This compares Laura Trott with other members of their own party who were recorded voting in the same division. It is not a measure of loyalty to a whip: Civometry holds no whipping records, so it cannot say which votes were whipped, and voting differently from party colleagues is not described here as a rebellion. Members not recorded in a division are excluded from the comparison rather than counted, because an absence from a division list is not a vote and does not mean the member was absent from the House.

Source: IPSA, MP staffing and business costs (Open Government Licence v3), joined on IPSA’s Parliamentary ID, which is Parliament’s member id. These are the running costs of an MP’s office and staff, claimed within IPSA’s rules and paid by IPSA; they are not the member’s salary and not personal income. A claim is a claim, not a finding. Staffing costs are published by IPSA in aggregate categories, not per employee.

| Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Work and Pensions) | Department for Work and Pensions | 27 October 2022 | 13 November 2023 |
