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

Amendment No 10 deals with training, and...
Mr Speaker, I addressed that issue a few moments ago, but, if you will indulge me, I am happy to repeat it. An abuser would be able to slip through the net because of the rules that we put in place to guide the discretion that the Legal Services Agency can apply. Those could be very stringent, in which case they could also exclude victims and perpetrators. We could, for example, say that you...
I beg to move amendment No 9: In page 15, line 21, leave out paragraph (c). The following amendments stood on the Marshalled List: No 10: Leave out clause 30 and insert – “Training within relevant bodies 30.—(1) Each of the following must provide such training on the effect of this Part as it considers appropriate for its personnel— (a) the Police Service of Northern Ireland,...
