Seven Notts Conservatives did not vote
The majority of Nottinghamshire's MPs did not vote on whether to accept a report which said Boris Johnson deliberately misled the House of Commons over lockdown parties. The crucial vote was held on Monday after the findings of the committee investigating the former Prime Minister were published.
That 90-day suspension could have triggered a by-election in Mr Johnson's constituency, but this recommendation was rendered irrelevant after Mr Johnson decided to resign earlier this month. A by-election will therefore be held in his constituency anyway, with the former Prime Minister releasing a resignation statement which said the committee investigating him was a "kangaroo court.
Nottingham South's Lilian Greenwood did not record a vote, given that she was acting as a 'teller' for the proceedings. Tellers are those appointed to verify the count when a vote takes place in Parliament, with two MPs representing those voting yes and two others representing those voting no. In terms of the Conservative MPs in Nottinghamshire, just one voted to accept the report - Rushcliffe MP Ruth Edwards. The other seven did not record a vote.
