Uncertain activities are close calls or partial matches: published, but not counted. MLAs with no flagged activity in this scope are listed without a rank (–), as are MLAs whose figure on the chosen measure is unreliable: † served less than 6 months in the period; * fewer than 30 assessed activities. Office holders are listed under their names: ministers do not table questions, which lowers their totals. Each MLA’s profile breaks their activity down by type.
