HC Deb 07 January 2003 vol 397 c68W
38. Ms Drown

To ask the President of the Council what plans he has to propose steps to reduce time taken to record votes in the House. [89175]

Mr. Bradshaw

In his memorandum of December 2001 to the Modernisation Committee, my right. hon. Friend asked the question whether views in the House on electronic voting have changed since Members were consulted in the last Parliament. He stressed that any form of electronic voting should require Members to attend Divisions in person, but could remove the need for multiple Divisions.
