Attendance is votes cast as a share of the 2,903 Holyrood divisions on record; Neil Bibby did not vote in 369. A rebellion is a vote against the way most of their own party voted; free votes, where no party line applies, are left out. At Holyrood an abstention is a deliberate recorded vote, distinct from not voting at all.

Party-loyalty figures are our own analysis of the official voting records (recorded votes only; they do not describe the formal whip). How we work this out.

To ask the Scottish Government, further to the answer to question S6W-42127 by Angus Robertson on 25 November 2025, whether it will provide a breakdown of the (a) total number of civil servants assigned to producing the publication, (b) number of hours spent by civil servants on producing the publication, (c) dates on which civil servants were working on the publication and (d) total staff costs incurred.

Answer · Angus Robertson · 9 Dec 2025

Officials across a range of business areas contributed to the production of the publication referred to in question S6W-42127 as part of their normal duties supporting the Scottish Government. In line with usual practice, details of individual tasks carried out by civil servants, including the number of hours spent on them, are not routinely recorded as there is no business need to do this.
