Former MP for Rother Valley
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.
Although one realises the difficulties of the dispute in regard to the publication of HANSARD and so on, should we not mention our appreciation of the noble work being carried out by the Vote Office?
Does my right hon. Friend agree that it is unfortunate that the hon. Member for Bournemouth, West (Sir J. Eden) has not mentioned one of our more vitally humane institutions, namely, hospitals? He has only mentioned private industry profits —steel, wool, etc.
On the hon. Gentleman's side.
