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 object of this Amendment is to ensure that one very important part of the recommendations in the Report of the Royal Commission shall not be discriminated against, but shall receive...
I said, the proportion of applicants to vacancies; not the total number.
I beg to move, as an Amendment to the proposed Amendment, to leave out the words "of the Cambridge Committee." It has been represented to me that certain technical difficulties would be avoided if those words were omitted.
