Former MP for Islington Central
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.
asked the Prime Minister if she will list her official engagements for 10 May.
As the Prime Minister will doubtless be altering her diary for the next few weeks, may I ask if she will consider, before leaving office, popping up the road to the London borough of Islington and taking a firsthand look at the disastrous antics there of the extremist Labour council, one of the barmiest ever seen—
—and take the opportunity to explain to the people of Islington that what is happening is a gross betrayal of the two main pledges on which the right hon. Lady was elected, to cut taxation and cut the dole queues?
