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.

Graham Brady’s voting in Parliament

Graham Brady is a Conservative MP, and on the vast majority of issues votes the same way as other Conservative MPs.

However, Graham Brady sometimes differs from their party colleagues, such as:

Graham Brady voted against culling badgers to tackle bovine tuberculosis; most current Conservative MPs generally voted for. Show votes 0 votes for, 1 vote against, 3 absences, between 2012–2014. Conservative, 4 votes, between 2012–2014

We have lots more plain English analysis of Graham Brady’s voting record on issues like health, welfare, taxation and more. Visit Graham Brady’s full vote analysis page for more.

Graham Brady has quite often rebelled against their party in the current parliament. Find out more.

Covid-19: Road Map 22 Feb 2021

I welcome very strongly the reopening of schools. After what we have put them through over the past year, it is time we prioritised the interests of our children and young people. The Prime Minister sets out a programme based on data, not dates, and that must be right, but will he please publish the precise criteria for each of those stages to be met? Finally, when the renewal of emergency...
