- ↑ Two Labour MPs act as Deputy Speakers, so do not vote. Denis MacShane has been suspended from the parliamentary party so is counted as an independent.
- ↑ Sinn Féin contests UK general elections but does not take the seats; therefore, its MPs do not vote or speak in the House of Commons.
- ↑ Works closely with the Liberal Democrats, but is a separate organisation.
- ↑ Independent politicians stand for election on a variety of issues and so do not necessarily co-operate in the House of Commons.
- ↑ Lady Sylvia Hermon, Eric Illsley and Denis MacShane.
- ↑ Do not normally vote; the Speaker is not a member of any party, while the Deputies can maintain membership but are not involved in party political activities.
- ↑ Seats awaiting the election of a new MP in a by-election or general election.
- ↑ Former Labour immigration minister Phil Woolas was expelled from Parliament in November 2010 after a court ruledthat he had breached the Representation of the People Act 1983 during the 2010 general election campaign.
