Sir Richard Nugent
Former MP for Guildford
Former MP for Guildford
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 Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, in view of the fact that the delay in dealing with the Essex River Authority's Rochford flood prevention scheme and with many other such river authority schemes is due to the operation of the worth-whileness test, when he will resume discussions with the Association of River Authorities on a change to a new system without this test.
Is the hon. Gentleman aware that the delay of two years, which has doubled the cost in the Rochford case, is typical of the delay caused by this system? As the hon. Gentleman has already cancelled his intention to start a new scheme this year, will he say when he will be ready to start talks with the Association of River Authorities?
asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food by what authority he is prevented from giving a grant of more than 45 per cent. to the Essex River Authority for their flood prevention scheme in the Rochford area.
