Former MP for Oswestry
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 whether the scheme for the provision of smallholdings by county councils can now be re-started and preference be given to applicants who are ex-Servicemen.
Does the Minister realise that there are at present many ex-Servicemen who are fully equipped with the necessary capital? Could not arrangements be made or suggestions conveyed to the county councils who have smallholdings that they should give ex-Servicemen a preference?
