Voting record
In the 420 recorded divisions where Sir John Hayes and at least one other Conservative member were recorded voting, Sir John Hayes voted the same way as most voting Conservative members 419 times (99.8%).
This compares Sir John Hayes 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.

Staffing costs are published by IPSA in aggregate categories, not per employee.
