Former Liberal Democrat MSP for Argyll and Bute
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.
The analysis of the responses to the Scottish Executive discussion paper What can we do to help Community Councils fulfil their role? was published in December 2006 on the Scottish Executive website along with the recommendations resulting from the review.
It is intended that the working group will exist for one year commencing in April 2007. The working group will consist of six local authority representatives, six community council representatives, the Association of Scottish Community Councils (ASCC), the Society of Local Authority Lawyers (SOLAR) and COSLA. The final working group membership will be published on the Scottish Executive...
One of the tasks to be undertaken by the working group will be to develop a code of conduct for community councillors. The working group is expected to conclude its work by spring 2008.
