On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 312 of 313 decisive votes (0 abstentions excluded). Read it as a government-or-opposition indicator rather than a measure of influence — the figure is near 100% for members supporting the government of the day and near 0% for those opposing it.

Please do not accuse a colleague of telling lies.
We will go back to the Minister.
Let us hear the Minister, without interruption.
I should say on behalf of the House that while Members may disagree on the approaches to be taken to particular measures, all of us recognise the enormous contribution those who have been involved in the battle against this pandemic have made, the enormous efforts they have put in and the immeasurable hours and everything else that has been involved.
