Voting record

In the 346 recorded divisions where Dame Caroline Dinenage and at least one other Conservative member were recorded voting, Dame Caroline Dinenage voted the same way as most voting Conservative members 337 times (97.4%).

This compares Dame Caroline Dinenage 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.
