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.
Payment of RSA is usually paid in instalments and only after capital expenditure and job targets are met. Before final grant payment, claims confirming achievement of targets certified by an accountant independent from the company are required.
There is no strict legal definition of the term "phoenix companies". Each application for RSA is assessed on its own merits, against all of the scheme criteria. In assessing applications we consider a range of information including the background experience of key personnel.
We do not maintain records of this type.
