On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 79 of 668 decisive votes (8 abstentions excluded).

It is also possible that someone in that category may not be paid at all.

Health (Preservation and Protection and other Emergency Measures in the Public Interest) Bill 2020: Committee and Remaining Stages

We would not be considering these measures except that we are in pretty exceptional times with a very exceptional crisis. The legislation has to be balanced but the sunset clause is necessary.
