Former MP for Batley and Morley
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 hon. Member seems to be getting wide of the Bill we are now discussing.
I am sorry, but I do not think that matter is really relevant to the Third Reading of the Bill. The hon. and learned Gentleman seems to be dealing with general principles. There is only one question involved here; whether the period of delay should be one year, or two.
The question of Single Chamber Government is clearly not before the House at the moment.
