Former MP for Leeds North West
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 wish to spread the debate a little wider. Time is short and many hon. Members wish to...
I am trying to be extremely brief. I hope that the hon. Gentleman has the opportunity to speak later. Orders can be won, not only in Yorkshire but in the United Kingdom, only in the face of keen world competition. Price, quality and delivery must all be right. Many of us have complained about, and tried to highlight, the image of the British working population. Our capacity is easily...
I hope that the hon. Member—my constituent—is not denigrating the efforts of our colleague the hon. Member for Batley and Morley (Mr. Woolmer), who on his own has pursued a matter which is now with the Director of Public Prosecutions.
