The Speaker in the House of Commons has authorised a move that will see MPs allowed to vote on new laws without being present in the Commons for the first time in its history.
Sir Lindsay Hoyle authorised the move as part of measures to cope with social distancing, saying he was ‘satisfied with the assurances’ he had been given on the security of the system, but said it would be temporary.
The Commons Procedure Committee earlier gave its approval for remote voting, following trials of the new system.
MPs are already taking part in debates and questions via video conferencing, including for Prime Ministers Questions. The proposed system of voting is based on an existing digital platform - known as MemberHub.
The Commons Procedure Committee said it was satisfied with the assurances it had been given about the security of the system but that this should be kept under review. It has, however, recommended that the first remote vote was not related to legislation and the Speaker should have the power to extend or re-run any vote if there were technical problems.
