Former MP for Barnsley
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 Transport, in the case of a male learner-driver who lodges with a supervising examiner (driving tests) an application to take the test specifically endorsed "application for test by a man tester," why such preference cannot be complied with; and whether he is prepared to introduce amending regulations that learner-drivers shall be given the option of male or female testers?
What I want to know is whether an endorsed application for a test by either a male or a female tester, as the case may be, cannot be complied with, and why a person cannot be tested by one of his or her own sex, and not have a woman sent to test a man? Is the Minister aware that since this matter was published, I have had complaints from all over the nation, and that one need not go further...
I beg to give notice that I intend to raise this matter on the Adjournment.
