As a result of COVID-19, some MPs have been less able to vote in Parliament, and this will be reflected in their voting record.

Show more detail

11th May to 2nd June 2020

All MPs could vote remotely through an online voting tool. Votes cast remotely are shown as normal on the TheyWorkForYou voting record.

2nd to 9th June 2020

The option of online voting was removed, and a number of MPs may have been unable to vote because they were not physically able to attend.

10th June 2020 onwards

The requirements on proxy voting were relaxed, allowing MPs to designate another MP to cast a vote on their behalf.

If an MP votes by proxy, it is effectively exactly the same as if they cast the vote in person and it shows up on their TheyWorkForYou voting record.

MPs are not required to designate a proxy, and may instead pair with an opposing MP to miss a vote. Parliament does not record when two MPs have come to a pairing arrangement, so on TheyWorkForYou, they will both appear to have been absent for the vote.

We will update this information if the situation changes. See more detail on votes during the COVID-19 period here.

Recent appearances

Questions to the Mayor of London — s60 [1]: s60 [1] 27 Aug 2020

There appear to have been a growing number of s60 directions issued in Camden, including a number authorised by an acting inspector, i.e. a substantive sergeant. Do you consider it is appropriate for a relatively junior officer to make s60 directions affecting all or a large part of a borough?
Questions to the Mayor of London — s60 [2]: s60 [2] 27 Aug 2020

How many s60 directions have been given affecting a) Camden and b) Barnet in each of the last 3 months; in each case, what was the rank of the officer authorising them; and for the equivalent period last year, how many s60 directions were there in each borough?
Questions to the Mayor of London — ASB and safety around Burnt Oak station: ASB and safety around Burnt Oak station 17 Aug 2020

Burnt Oak ward Councillors have raised with me repeated concerns about alleyways around Burnt Oak station and Back Lane, where there is a serious problem with drug dealing and ASB. Will you put pressure on Barnet Council to agree to a plan of action to tackle these problems, and a timescale to implement it?
