Every register entry that names Alison McGovern, and how each was tied to them

Declared interests

MPs must register financial interests within 28 days. This is the register’s own text, republished verbatim from the official Register of Members’ Financial Interests. Registering an interest is a requirement met, not a finding against anyone.

The current register holds no entries matched to Alison McGovern.

Voting record

In the 379 recorded divisions where Alison McGovern and at least one other Labour member were recorded voting, Alison McGovern voted the same way as most voting Labour members 379 times (100.0%).

This compares Alison McGovern 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.
