Former MP for Bristol North East
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 what steps he takes to co-ordinate the activities of the Treasury and the Board of Trade in the promotion of exports by small companies.
Would the First Secretary recognise that while the E.C.G.D. at the Board of Trade provides valuable assistance to small companies which are trying to export, one of the great hazards which such companies face is the question of credit terms, a matter which comes under the Treasury? Is he aware that several export orders have been lost because of the length of credit afforded by the Treasury?
asked the President of the Board of Trade what action he intends to take to assist the British film industry.
