Based on 9 recorded Commons divisions at Second or Third Reading of bills tracked by Hear, Hear — not a full voting record. “Didn’t vote” means Parliament has no vote recorded for them in that division (absent, abstained, paired, or excused). See the All votes tab below for every division.

Every Commons division on file for James McMurdock — amendments, motions and opposition-day votes as well as bills. Took part in 244 of 590 (41%). Recorded in both lobbies (a deliberate abstention) 1 time.
Covers 9 Mar 2016 to 11 Sep 2026 — Parliament’s votes data doesn’t go back further. “No vote recorded” is Parliament’s own list of members with nothing recorded for that division: it can mean absent, deliberately abstaining, paired, or excused, and the data doesn’t say which.

No government or shadow front-bench post on file for James McMurdock — most MPs never hold one, so this is the normal state for a backbencher, not a gap in the data.

No written questions on file for James McMurdock yet — this only covers what Hear, Hear has fetched so far (see Written questions), not necessarily every question James McMurdock has ever tabled.
£185,401.94 paid out to or for James McMurdock across 98 claims — combining every financial year on file, not just the current one — covering office costs, accommodation, travel, and bought-in/temporary staffing. This does not include James McMurdock’s permanent staff’s salaries — typically the biggest single share of an MP’s real costs — which IPSA only publishes once a year, after the year closes, as one aggregate figure, never as individual claims. Some categories (especially travel) are reported by IPSA as one whole-year total rather than itemised by date — marked “Aggregated” below. See MP expenses to filter this to a single year.
James McMurdock has tabled 8 Early Day Motions on file (as primary sponsor), drawing 20 sponsor signatures in total across them. This only counts motions James McMurdock personally tabled — not motions James McMurdock may have added their name to as a supporter, which this data source doesn’t track per MP. See Early Day Motions for what this does and doesn’t cover.
James McMurdock isn’t listed as an officer of any All-Party Parliamentary Group on file — true of most MPs. See APPGs for the full register.
