Former MP for Clitheroe
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 Prime Minister if he is yet in a position to make a statement about space research.
Now that the project for a satellite is being taken over by the Government, and in view of the lead which the Royal Society has given in this idea in the past, can my right hon. Friend undertake that the Royal Society will be considered on all scientific developments in this field in the future and also that it will be consulted with a view to initiating purely scientific as well as defence work?
