ELECTRONIC VOTING IN THE HOUSE

Early day motion 1158, tabled 23 March 2009 by Angus MacNeil (Scottish National Party). Signed by 15 members.

That this House believes consideration should be given to allowing hon. Members a limited number of opportunities during each parliamentary year to vote remotely on divisions in the House when weather or technical issues associated with transportation effectively curtail the possibilities of attending divisions; and further believes that this could help the carbon footprint of hon. Members who on occasions fly many thousands of miles just to return for a division in the House.

Signatures by party: Labour 10, Liberal Democrat 2, Independent 1, Scottish National Party 1, Social Democratic and Labour Party 1.
