As a result of COVID-19, some MPs were less able to vote in Parliament in certain periods, and this will be reflected by absences in their voting record.

Show more detail

11th May to 2nd June 2020

All MPs could vote remotely through an online voting tool. Votes cast remotely are shown as normal on the TheyWorkForYou voting record.

2nd to 9th June 2020

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.

10th June 2020 onwards

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.

Written Answers — Ministry of Justice: Prisoners: Police Custody 5 Dec 2022

We have requested the police make approximately 400 police cells available through Operation Safeguard. These cells will only be used if necessary. As of 1 December, no prisoners were housed in police cells as part of Operation Safeguard. Police forces across the country already use police cells occasionally to house prisoners overnight, for example due to late sitting courts. The triggering...
Written Answers — Ministry of Justice: Prisoners: Police Custody 5 Dec 2022

Arrangements have been agreed with police forces for the funding of Operation Safeguard.

We are also putting in place additional measures to maximise capacity in the prison estate and are taking all practical stepsâ¯to support the continued running of the criminal...
Offenders (Day of Release from Detention) Bill 2 Dec 2022

I start by congratulating my hon. Friend the Member for Barrow and Furness (Simon Fell) on bringing forward this important Bill. It is a simple change, but the measure he has brought before the House today will, through its passage through this place, be a landmark reform. He spoke powerfully and made a very effective case by talking of real people and their case studies. He has been so...
