Former MP for Glasgow Govan
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.
Does the Minister agree that Clydeside is now playing its full part in achieving this new and increasing output in shipbuilding?
asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will seek to make compulsory the introduction of controls at all gatherings in Scotland in order to ensure the safe handling of crowds of people; and if he will assist financially those organisations which, owing to lack of money, may find it difficult to adopt his measures.
The fact that the right hon. Gentleman has no proposals to meet my proposition is no excuse for his doing nothing about it. Does he realise that this is an important problem? Will he have another thought about it and realise that it is necessary to do something about it?
