David Duguid.

David Duguid is currently one of the most inactive MPs in the Commons, recording zero votes and zero speeches in the available data period. No rebel votes, no recorded parliamentary contributions, and no committee memberships appear on his record. For constituents trying to track what their MP has been doing in Westminster, the honest answer is: very little is visible.

Before this period of inactivity, Duguid represented Banff and Buchan — a northeast Scotland constituency — since 2017, with a background in the energy sector that had previously shaped his interest in North Sea oil and gas policy. Whether his current absence from the voting record reflects illness, personal circumstances, or disengagement is not clear from the available data. MPs can be absent for legitimate reasons that do not show up in voting statistics, so the zero participation rate should be read as a data point, not a verdict.

The two recent local news stories touching his patch — both concerning conservation status granted to Pennan village despite resident opposition — show no involvement from Duguid. Local planning matters of that kind are typically handled by councils rather than Westminster MPs, so his absence from those articles is not unusual. What is unusual is the complete absence of any parliamentary footprint across votes, speeches, and committees. Constituents seeking evidence of active representation at the national level will find none in the current dataset.
