SUCCESS! In response to my Urgent Question, govt has announced it will bring forward proxy voting for MPs - as early as next week, dinosaurs permitting 🦕🦕🦕. Good debate on the issue - especially loved all the dads speaking from the heart about the guilt parents feel.
Delighted that the govt has agreed to give time to the proxy vote debate on Monday, which means a lone 🦕 won't be able to block it. Thank you @andrealeadsom
Also delighted by some of the amendments proposed by @PhilipDaviesUK - no, really - to make sure MP dads can access proxy voting for the same length of time as MP mums, and also cover MPs in other circumstances such as serious illness.
If all this sounds a little, you know, progressive, be assured these votes to modernise the workplace that is Parliament will take place around 11:30pm on Monday night.
