I apologise for intervening a second time, but I want to come back to the point made by my right hon. Friend Sir Liam Fox. He said, quite rightly, that constituents would be penalised by Members being excluded but one risk of providing a proxy vote is that it persuades people they are not being penalised. In practice, as we have seen with the post office scandal, being here and representing people is the important thing that is being stopped by these proposals.
