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.

I do not put this as being any accident; I think the timing of such incidents is crucial to what we are discussing here today. I just want to ask the Prime Minister about the green and red lanes. I enter a...
