Data includes all MPs except Ministers. Ministers represent the government in debates, so we do not report their participation. They do not sign the attendance register, ask questions, or introduce private member bills. Note: State averages are unavailable for Chandigarh, Puducherry, Nagaland, and Meghalaya.
