Is the Deputy trying to get on the right side of him early?
On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 312 of 313 decisive votes (0 abstentions excluded). Read it as a government-or-opposition indicator rather than a measure of influence — the figure is near 100% for members supporting the government of the day and near 0% for those opposing it.
This is the point of the site: contributions keep the party held on the day, not the one held now.

I remind Members that it was agreed in the House last week that, for the duration of the Covid-19 emergency only, the rapporteur's report from the Business Committee shall not be read out but should be taken as read. Accordingly, I will proceed to put the two proposals relating to this week's business. Is the proposal for dealing with today's business agreed to?
That is not-----
No, I assume that it happened at the committee meeting. We cannot really-----
Can I make the point-----
I am not questioning the validity of the point which the Deputy is making-----

All right. We will try to get the Deputy an answer on that.
The Deputy has made his point.
The Deputy should please not conflate the business of the sub-committee with the business of the House.
