Former MP for Manchester, Gorton
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 Home Secretary the number of young persons sent to approved schools by the Manchester City Justices for the 12 months to the last convenient date and the periods of waiting between conviction and their actual entry into the school?
Does not the right hon. Gentleman think that it is an excessive time to keep young people under such conditions?
asked the Home Secretary whether he has received representations as to the poor and inadequate accommodation for juveniles on remand from the Manchester City Police Court: and what action he proposes to take in the matter?
