Former MP for Rhondda West
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.
Lewis (Bolton): As the right hon. and learned Gentleman refers to poor recruiting figures, will he say how his remarks apply to the agricultural industry, having regard to the great increase which has taken place since this Government came into power?
McKay asked the Minister of Labour how many foreign agricultural labourers are unemployed and living in hostels waiting to be transferred where they may be required in future; and if this prevents the introduction of any other foreign agricultural workers into this country.
(by Private Notice)asked the Secretary for Mines whether he has received information of the accident at the Blaenclydach Colliery yesterday; whether he will state the number of men killed and injured, and the circumstances in which the accident occurred?
