Former MP for Sheffield, Hillsborough
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.
The contribution of the Service Departments to the £12.5 million will be about £2 million for the Admiralty, £5.5 million for the War Office and £5 million for the Air Ministry.
That remains to be seen when we see the Supplementary Estimates.
I think that at a later stage that may be possible. I can say now that they will be mainly in respect of a reduction in respect of the somewhat lower uniformed strength; some reduction in the provisions for civilians; and in the provision for works and stores.
