Former MP for Gainsborough
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.
I observe that there is a Question on the Order Paper to my right hon. Friend tomorrow about Cyprus, and that will give him an opportunity to say whatever he thinks is right.
Yes, certainly.
That is looking a little far ahead. It had been our hope to have the Welsh debate before Christmas. Plans were in hand, but it was postponed as a result of representations made through the usual channels.
